Deuteronomy 12:5-18

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.

15Notwithstanding, thou mayest kill and eatH398 fleshH1320 within all thy gatesH8179, after all the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315, according to the blessingH1293 of Jehovah thy GodH430 which he hath givenH5414 thee: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eatH398 thereof, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart. 16OnlyH7535 ye shall not eatH398 the bloodH1818; thou shalt pourH8210 it out upon the earthH776 as waterH4325. 17Thou mayest not eatH398 within thy gatesH8179 the titheH4643 of thy grainH1715, or of thy newH8492 wineH8492, or of thine oilH3323, or the firstlings of thy herdH1241 or of thy flockH6629, nor any of thy vowsH5088 which thou vowest, nor thy freewill-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy handH3027; 18but thou shalt eatH398 them before Jehovah thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which Jehovah thy GodH430 shall chooseH977, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179: and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 before Jehovah thy GodH430 in all that thou puttest thy handH3027 unto.
