Deuteronomy 12:1-7

1These are the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, which ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 in the landH776, which YhwhH3068 GodH430 of thy fathersH1 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it, all the daysH3117 that ye liveH2416 upon the earthH127.

2Ye shall utterlyH6 destroyH6 all the placesH4725, wherein the nationsH1471 whichH834 ye shall possessH3423 servedH5647 their godsH430, upon the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086:1

3And ye shall overthrowH5422 their altarsH4196, and breakH7665 their pillarsH4676, and burnH8313 their grovesH842 with fireH784; and ye shall hew downH1438 the graven imagesH6456 of their godsH430, and destroyH6 the namesH8034 of them out of that placeH4725.2

4Ye shall not do soH6213 unto YhwhH3068 your GodH430.

5But unto the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 out of all your tribesH7626 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there, even unto his habitationH7933 shall ye seekH1875, and thither thou shalt comeH935:

6And thither ye shall bringH935 your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, and your tithesH4643, and heave offeringsH8641 of your handH3027, and your vowsH5088, and your freewill offeringsH5071, and the firstlingsH1062 of your herdsH1241 and of your flocksH6629:

7And there ye shall eatH398 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 your GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055 in all that ye putH4916 your handH3027 unto, ye and your householdsH1004, wherein YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee.
