Deuteronomy 12:1–14
aThese are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, ball the days that ye live upon the earth. 2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall ||possess served their gods, cupon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: 3 And ye shall †overthrow their altars, and break dtheir pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and eye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. 4 fYe shall not do so unto the Lord your God. 5 But gunto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: 6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your htithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and ithe firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: 7 And jthere ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and kye shall rejoice in all lthat ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee. 8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, mevery man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. 9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you. 10 But when nye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; 11 Then there shall be oa place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all †your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord: 12 And pye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as qhe hath no part nor inheritance with you. 13 rTake heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: 14 sBut in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
