Deuteronomy 12:2-14

2Ye shall surely destroyH6 all the placesH4725 wherein the nationsH1471 that ye shall dispossessH3423 servedH5647 their godsH430, upon the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon the hillsH1389, and under every green treeH6086: 3and ye shall breakH7665 down their altarsH4196, and dash in pieces their pillarsH4676, and burnH8313 their Asherim with fireH784; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their godsH430; and ye shall destroyH6 their nameH8034 out of that placeH4725. 4Ye shall not do soH3651 unto Jehovah your GodH430. 5But unto the placeH4725 which Jehovah your GodH430 shall chooseH977 out of all your tribesH7626, to putH7760 his nameH8034 there, even unto his habitation shall ye seekH1875, and thither thou shalt comeH935; 6and thither ye shall bringH935 your burnt-offerings, and your sacrificesH2077, and your tithesH4643, and the heave-offering of your handH3027, and your vowsH5088, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herdH1241 and of your flockH6629: 7and there ye shall eatH398 before Jehovah your GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055 in all that ye put your handH3027 unto, ye and your householdsH1004, wherein Jehovah thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee. 8Ye shall not do after all the things that we do hereH6311 this dayH3117, every manH376 whatsoever is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869; 9for ye are not as yet comeH935 to the restH4496 and to the inheritanceH5159, which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee. 10But whenH834 ye go over the JordanH3383, and dwellH3427 in the landH776 which Jehovah your GodH430 causeth you to inheritH5157, and he giveth you restH5117 from all your enemiesH341 roundH5439 about, so that ye dwellH3427 in safety; 11then it shall comeH935 to pass that to the placeH4725 which Jehovah your GodH430 shall chooseH977, to cause his nameH8034 to dwellH7931 there, thither shall ye bringH935 all that I commandH6680 you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643, and the heave-offering of your handH3027, and all your choice vowsH5088 which ye vowH5088 unto Jehovah. 12And ye shall rejoiceH8055 before Jehovah your GodH430, ye, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the LeviteH3881 that is within your gatesH8179, forasmuch as he hath no portionH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with you. 13TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt-offerings in every placeH4725 that thou seest; 14but in the placeH4725 which Jehovah shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I commandH6680 thee.
