Not to sacrifice a sacrifice outside of the [Temple] yard: Not to bring up anything of the sacrifices outside of the [Temple] yard, and this is called offering up outside. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 12:13), “Guard yourself, lest you offer up your burnt-offerings in every place” — the understanding of “offering up” is burning. And they said in Sifrei Devarim 70, “This tells me only of burnt-offerings. From where [do I derive the same for] other offerings? [Hence] we learn to say ‘and there shall you do all that I command you’ (Deuteronomy 12:14). But I still would say that burnt-offerings are [subject] to a positive commandment” — as Scripture states, “there shall you offer up [your burnt-offerings],” which implies only a burnt-offering — “and [also to] a negative commandment” — as Scripture states, “Guard yourself, lest you offer up your burnt-offerings,” which implies only a burnt-offering. “But other offerings are subject only to a positive commandment” — meaning to say, that one who sacrifices consecrated things outside would only transgress a positive commandment, as Scripture stated, “and there shall you do,” and not outside; and a negative commandment that comes from the implication of a positive commandment is a positive commandment. “[From where do I know that they are also subject to a negative commandment? Hence] we learn to say ‘there shall you offer up your burnt-offerings.’ Burnt-offerings were included [in all of the offerings]. Why were they singled out? To [serve as the basis for] a comparison, and to say to you: Just as burnt-offerings [are characterized by being subject to] a positive commandment and a negative commandment — so [too,] all [offerings] that are [subject to] a positive commandment, behold they are [also subject to] a negative commandment.” All of its content is like the negative commandment of slaughtering outside that I wrote in Acharei Mot (Sefer HaChinukh 186).
