Leviticus 17:4

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
2

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,

3

What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

4

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

5

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord.

6

And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Annihilation / Destruction

The phrase "cut off from among his people" could be interpreted as excommunication or social ostracization rather than literal annihilation or ceasing to exist.

Destruction / Perishing Language

While "cut off" can imply destruction, the phrase "cut off from among his people" could also be interpreted as a social or communal excommunication, rather than a physical perishing or destruction of the individual.

Earthly Sanctuary System

The verse describes a consequence for not bringing an offering to the tabernacle, but it does not explicitly detail the structure or function of the sanctuary system itself, focusing instead on a violation of a specific ritual requirement.
