Deuteronomy 12:1-7

1These are the statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941, which ye shall takeH3423 heedH8104 to do in the landH776, which Jehovah the 1GodH430 of thy fathersH1 is givingH5414 thee to possessH3423 it, all the daysH3117 that ye live upon the earthH776.

2Ye shall utterly destroyH6 all the placesH4725 wherein the nationsH1471 which ye shall dispossessH3423 have servedH5647 their 2godsH430, upon the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon the hillsH1389, and under every green treeH6086;

3and ye shall breakH7665 down their altarsH4196, and shatterH7665 their statues, and burnH8313 their Asherahs with fireH784; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their 3godsH430, and ye shall destroyH6 the namesH8034 of them out of that placeH4725.

4Ye shall not do soH3651 unto Jehovah your 4GodH430;

5but unto the placeH4725 which Jehovah your 5GodH430 will chooseH977 out of all your tribesH7626 to setH7760 his nameH8034 there, 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 voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheepH6629;

7and ye shall eatH398 there before Jehovah your 6GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055, ye and your householdsH1004, in all the business of your handH3027, wherein Jehovah thy 7GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee.
