7 Iyar (Acharei Mos-Kedoshim)

Rashi on Vayikra 17,4 says that someone who slaughters a korban outside the Beis Hamikdash is as if he killed a person. What does that mean? Why on Earth would that be, that someone who does shechutei chutz is as if they killed someone?

For those that get the kasha as an sms text the verse was accidentally written as 16,4. This is incorrect. Our apologies.
