Deuteronomy 12:2-14
2Ye shall utterly destroyH6 all the placesH4725 wherein the nationsH1471 which ye shall dispossessH3423 have servedH5647 their 1godsH430, 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 2godsH430, and ye shall destroyH6 the namesH8034 of them out of that placeH4725.
4Ye shall not do soH3651 unto Jehovah your 3GodH430;
5but unto the placeH4725 which Jehovah your 4GodH430 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 5GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055, ye and your householdsH1004, in all the business of your handH3027, wherein Jehovah thy 6GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee.
8Ye shall not do after all that we do hereH6311 this dayH3117, each oneH376 whatever is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.
9For ye are not as yet comeH935 to the restH4496 and to the inheritanceH5159 which Jehovah thy 7GodH430 giveth thee.
10But whenH834 ye have gone over the JordanH3383, and dwellH3427 in the landH776 which Jehovah your 8GodH430 causeth you to inheritH5157, and whenH834 he hath givenH5117 you restH5117 from all your enemiesH341 roundH5439 about, and ye dwellH3427 in safety,
11then there shall beH1961 a placeH4725 which Jehovah your 9GodH430 will chooseH977 to cause his nameH8034 to dwellH7931 there; thither shall ye bringH935 all that I commandH6680 you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643, and the heave-offering of your handH3027, and all your choice vowsH5088 which ye shall vowH5088 to Jehovah.
12And ye shall rejoiceH8055 before Jehovah your 10GodH430, ye, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the LeviteH3881 that is within your gatesH8179; for he hath no portionH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with you.
13TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt-offerings in every placeH4725 that thou seest;
14but in the placeH4725 which Jehovah will chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I commandH6680 thee.
