Deuteronomy 12:6-18

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 YhwhH3068:1 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. 15Notwithstanding thou mayest killH2076 and eatH398 fleshH1320 in all thy gatesH8179, whatsoever thy soulH5315 desiresH185, according to the blessingH1293 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 which he hath givenH5414 thee: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eatH398 thereof, as of the roebuckH6643, and as of the hartH354. 16Only ye shall not eatH398 the bloodH1818; ye shall pourH8210 it upon the earthH776 as waterH4325.

17Thou mayestH3201 not eatH398 within thy gatesH8179 the titheH4643 of thy grainH1715, or of thy wineH8492, or of thy oilH3323, or the firstlingsH1062 of thy herdsH1241 or of thy flockH6629, nor any of thy vowsH5088 which thou vowestH5087, nor thy freewill offeringsH5071, or heave offeringH8641 of thine handH3027: 18But thou must eatH398 them beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179: and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 in all that thou puttestH4916 thine handsH3027 unto.
