Deuteronomy 12:5-18

5but unto the place which Jehovah your 1God 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 2God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy 3God 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 4God giveth thee.

10But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your 5God 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 6God 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 7God, 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.

15Nevertheless, according to all the desire of thy soul thou mayest slay and eat flesh in all thy gates, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy 8God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart.

16Only, ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

17Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheep, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;

18but before Jehovah thy 9God shalt thou eat them in the place which Jehovah thy 10God will choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy 11God in all the business of thy hand.
