Deuteronomy 12:2-14

2Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall dispossess have served their 1gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;

3and ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and burn their Asherahs with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their 2gods, and ye shall destroy the names of them out of that place.

4Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your 3God;

5but unto the place which Jehovah your 4God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;

6and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheep;

7and ye shall eat there before Jehovah your 5God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy 6God hath blessed thee.

8Ye shall not do after all that we do here this day, each one whatever is right in his own eyes.

9For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy 7God giveth thee.

10But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your 8God causeth you to inherit, and when he hath given you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye dwell in safety,

11then there shall be a place which Jehovah your 9God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye shall vow to Jehovah.

12And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your 10God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the Levite that is within your gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.

13Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;

14but in the place which Jehovah will choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
