Deuteronomy 12:1-7

1“Be careful to follow these statutes and ordinances in the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you to possess all the days you live on the earth.

2Destroy completely all the places where the nations that you are driving out worship their gods  — on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.

3Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn their Asherah poles, cut down the carved images of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place.

4Don’t worship the Lord your God this way.

5Instead, turn to the place the Lord your God chooses from all your tribes to put his name for his dwelling and go there.

6You are to bring there your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tenths and personal contributions, your vow offerings and freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.

7You will eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice with your household in everything you do, because the Lord your God has blessed you.
