Deuteronomy 12 — Context

8

You must not do like we are doing here today, with everyone doing what seems best to him,

9

for you have not yet come to the final stop and inheritance the LORD your God is giving you.

10

When you do go across the Jordan River and settle in the land he is granting you as an inheritance and you find relief from all the enemies who surround you, you will live in safety.

11

Then you must come to the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to reside, bringing everything I am commanding you– your burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, and all your choice votive offerings which you devote to him.

12

You shall rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God, along with your sons, daughters, male and female servants, and the Levites in your villages(since they have no allotment or inheritance with you).

13

Make sure you do not offer burnt offerings in any place you wish,

14

for you may do so only in the place the LORD chooses in one of your tribal areas– there you may do everything I am commanding you.
