Context of Deuteronomy 12:10
8At this time, all of you now do what you think is right. But when you are in the land, you must worship God in a different way. 9You have not yet reached the place where you can rest. That is in the land that the Lord your God is giving to you as your home. But when you go across the Jordan River, that land will become your home. The Lord will protect you from all the enemies who are around you. You will live safely. 11At that time, the Lord your God will choose one special place for his people to worship him. You must take there everything that I have told you. Take your burnt offerings and other sacrifices to offer to the Lord. Take your tithes and special offerings. Take the special gifts that you have promised to give to him. Take everything to the place that God will choose. 12Go there to enjoy time with the Lord your God. Take with you your children and your servants. Also take with you the Levites who live in your towns. Remember that they have not received any land for themselves, as you have.
