Some say that the burnt offering must be brought in the sanctuary, and other offerings may be brought anywhere Maimonides attached special importance to this commandment, which he regarded as a safeguard against idolatry and the practice of sacrificing to the forces of nature in the open fields. By restricting the sacrificial service to the sanctuary, the people were gradually weaned from idol-worship.* * Moreh Nebuchim III, 32
