But only in the place that Hashem will choose in one of your tribes — there you shall offer your burnt-offerings and there you shall do all that I command you.
English: “There you shall offer and there you shall do” — One might have thought that since it is written “take heed lest you offer your burnt-offerings in any place that you see,” only the offering-up is forbidden but slaughter is permitted. Therefore the verse states “there you shall offer and there you shall do,” comparing the doing to the offering-up: just as the offering-up is forbidden, so the slaughter is forbidden.
On the daf / in context: The comparison closes a possible loophole that would have permitted slaughter outside while only forbidding the subsequent elevation of the animal.
Type of Learning
Derash on the verse (Sifrei) — including slaughter in the prohibition of outside service.
What Is Learned
Slaughter of sacrificial animals outside the chosen place is forbidden, just as the offering-up is forbidden.
