Context of Deuteronomy 12:27

25You must not eat it so that it may go well with you and your children after you; you will be doing what is right in the Lord’s sight. 26Only the holy things and votive offerings that belong to you, you must pick up and take to the place the Lord will choose. You must offer your burnt offerings, both meat and blood, on the altar of the Lord your God; the blood of your other sacrifices you must pour out on his altar while you eat the meat. 28Pay careful attention to all these things I am commanding you so that it may always go well with you and your children after you when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God. 29When the Lord your God eliminates the nations from the place where you are headed and you dispossess them, you will settle down in their land.
