Footnotes
- 22 Heb “offer burnt offerings.” The expression “do so” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
- 23 This injunction to worship in a single and central sanctuary—one limited and appropriate to the thrice-annual festival celebrations (see Exod 23:14–17; 34:22–24; Lev 23:4–36; Deut 16:16–17)—marks a departure from previous times when worship was carried out at local shrines (cf. Gen 8:20; 12:7; 13:18; 22:9; 26:25; 35:1, 3, 7; Exod 17:15). Apart from the corporate worship of the whole theocratic community, however, worship at local altars would still be permitted as in the past (Deut 16:21; Judg 6:24–27; 13:19–20; 1 Sam 7:17; 10:5, 13; 2 Sam 24:18–25; 1 Kgs 18:30).
