Aliya Summary: After concluding the order of the Yom Kippur service
in the Temple, the Torah instructs us to observe Yom Kippur as a Day of
Atonement when we must abstain from work and "afflict" ourselves. The
Jews are then forbidden to offer sacrifices anywhere other than the
Tabernacle or Temple.
It is similarly forbidden to
slaughter an animal for personal use within the precincts of the Temple.
A korban slaughtered outside is invalid and must be burned, "personal"
meat inside is likewise forbidden. Both are wasteful, hence sinful, acts
which can be construed as a form of "bloodshed".
