5But onlyd to the place that Yahweh your God will choose from all of your tribes to place his name there as his dwelling shall you seek, and there you shall go. 6And you shall bring there your burnt offerings and your sacrifices and your tithes and your donationse and your votive gifts and your freewill offerings and the firstling of your herd and your flock. 7And you shall eat there beforef Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all your endeavors,g you and your family in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.

8“You must not do just as we are doing here today,h each according to all that is right in his eyes.i 9For you have not come up to now to the resting place and to the inheritance that Yahweh your God is giving to you. 10But you will cross the Jordan, and you will settle in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, and he will give rest to you from all your enemies from all around, and you will live securely, 11and thenj at the place that Yahweh your God will choose, to let his name dwell there, there you shall bring all the things I am commanding you, your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and your donations,k and all of the choice things, your votive gifts that you vow to Yahweh.
