Deuteronomy 12:2-14

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.

8Ye shall not doH6213 after all the things that we doH6213 here this dayH3117, every manH376 whatsoever is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.

9For ye are not as yet comeH935 to the restH4496 and to the inheritanceH5159, which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 you.

10But when ye go overH5674 JordanH3383, and dwellH3427 in the landH776 which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 giveth you to inheritH5157, and when he giveth you restH5117 from all your enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, so that ye dwellH3427 in safetyH983;

11Then there shall be a placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 to cause his nameH8034 to dwellH7931 there; thither shall ye bringH935 all that I commandH6680 you; your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643, and the heave offeringH8641 of your handH3027, and all your choiceH4005 vowsH5088 which ye vowH5087 unto YhwhH3068:3

12And ye shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 your GodH430, ye, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and your menservantsH5650, and your maidservantsH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within your gatesH8179; forasmuchH3588 as he hath no partH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with you.

13Take heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt offeringsH5930 in every placeH4725 that thou seestH7200:

14But in the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt offeringsH5930, and there thou shalt doH6213 all that I commandH6680 thee.
