"You must not do like we are doing here today, with everyone doing what seems best to him,"
— Deuteronomy 12:8, NET Bible
“Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.”
“Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes; ”
“You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;”
“You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself.”
“You are not to do things then in the way in which we now do them here, every man as it seems right to him:”
“Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.”
But you must seek only the place he chooses from all your tribes to establish his name as his place of residence, and you must go there.
And there you must take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, your votive offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
Both you and your families must feast there before the LORD your God and rejoice in all the output of your labor with which he has blessed you.
You must not do like we are doing here today, with everyone doing what seems best to him,
for you have not yet come to the final stop and inheritance the LORD your God is giving you.
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.
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.
