Deuteronomy 12:6-18

6To that placeH8033 you are to bringH935 your burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643 and heave offeringsH8641H3027, your vow offeringsH5088 and freewill offeringsH5071, as well as the firstbornH1060 of your herdsH1241 and flocksH6629. 7ThereH8033, in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, you and your householdsH1004 shall eatH398 and rejoiceH8055 in allH3605 you doH4916H3027H859, becauseH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has blessed youH1288.

8You are notH3808 to doH6213 asH3605 weH587 are doingH6213 hereH6311 todayH3117, where everyoneH376 does whatH3605 seems rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869. 9ForH3588 you have notH3808 yetH5704 comeH935H6258 toH413 the resting placeH4496H413 and the inheritanceH5159 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you.

10When you crossH5674 the JordanH3383 and liveH3427 in the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is giving you as an inheritanceH5157, and He gives you restH5117 from allH3605 the enemiesH341 around youH5439 and you dwellH3427 securelyH983, 11then the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will chooseH977 a dwellingH7931 for His NameH8034. And thereH8033 you are to bringH935 everythingH3605 IH595 command youH6680: your burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643 and special giftsH8641H3027, and allH3605 the choiceH4005 offeringsH5088 you vowH5087 to the LORDH3068. 12And you shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430—youH859, your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, your menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH519, and the LeviteH3881 within your gatesH8179, sinceH3588 he has noH369 portionH2506 or inheritanceH5159 among youH854.

13Be carefulH8104 notH6435 to offerH5927 your burnt offeringsH5930 in just anyH3605 placeH4725 you seeH7200; 14you must offerH5927 them onlyH3588H518 in the placeH4725 the LORDH3068 will chooseH977 in oneH259 of your tribal territoriesH7626, and thereH8033 you shall doH6213 allH3605 thatH834 IH595 command youH6680.

15ButH7535 wheneverH3605 youH5315 wantH185, you may slaughterH2076 and eatH398 meatH1320 within anyH3605 of your gatesH8179, according to the blessingH1293 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you. Both the ceremonially cleanH2889 and uncleanH2931 may eat itH398 as they would a gazelleH6643 or deerH354, 16butH7535 you must notH3808 eatH398 the bloodH1818; pourH8210 it onH5921 the groundH776 like waterH4325.

17Within your gatesH8179 you mustH3201 notH3808 eatH398 the titheH4643 of your grainH1715 or new wineH8492 or oilH3323, the firstbornH1060 of your herdsH1241 or flocksH6629, anyH3605 of the offeringsH5088 thatH834 you have vowed to giveH5087, or your freewill offeringsH5071H3027 or special giftsH8641. 18InsteadH3588H518, you must eat themH398 in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 at the placeH4725 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will chooseH977—youH859, your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, your menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH519, and the LeviteH3881 within your gatesH8179. RejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 in allH3605 you doH4916H3027,
