Deuteronomy 12:2-14

2Ye shall surelyH6 destroyH6 allH3605 the placesH4725, whereinH834 the nationsH1471 whichH834 ye shall possessH3423 servedH5647 their godsH430, uponH5921 the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and uponH5921 the hillsH1389, and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086:

3and ye shall breakH7665 downH5422 their altarsH4196, and dash in piecesH7665 their pillarsH4676, and burnH8313 their AsherimH842 with fireH784; and ye shall hewH1438 downH5422 the gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of their godsH430; and ye shall destroyH6 their nameH8034 outH4480 of that placeH4725.

4Ye shall notH3808 doH6213 soH3651 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430.

5But unto the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 outH413 of allH3605 your tribesH7626 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there, evenH3588 unto his habitation shall ye seekH1875, and thither thou shalt comeH935:

6and thither ye shall bringH935 your burntH5930 offeringsH5071, and your sacrificesH2077, and your tithesH4643, and the heaveH8641 offering of your handH3027, and your vowsH5088, and your freewillH5071 offeringsH5071, and the firstlings of your herdH1241 and of your flockH6629:

7and there ye shall eatH398 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055 in allH3605 that ye putH3027 your handH3027 unto, ye and your householdsH1004, whereinH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee.

8Ye shall notH3808 doH6213 afterH3117 allH3605 the things that weH587 doH6213 hereH6311 this dayH3117, everyH3605 manH376 whatsoeverH3605 is rightH3477 in his ownH376 eyesH5869:

9for ye are notH3808 as yet comeH935 to the restH4496 and to the inheritanceH5159, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee.

10But when ye goH5674 over JordanH3383, and dwellH3427 in the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 causeth youH834 to inheritH5157, and he giveth youH834 restH5117 from allH3605 your enemiesH341 roundH5439 aboutH5439, soH834 that ye dwellH3427 in safetyH983;

11then it shall comeH935 to passH935 that the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 to causeH1961 his nameH8034 to dwellH7931 there, thither shall ye bringH935 allH3605 that I commandH6680 youH834; your burntH5930 offeringsH8641, and your sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643, and the heaveH8641 offering of your handH3027, and allH3605 your choiceH977 vowsH5088 whichH834 ye vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068:

12and ye shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, ye, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the LeviteH3881 that is withinH854 your gatesH8179, forasmuch as he hath noH369 portionH2506 norH369 inheritanceH5159 with youH859.

13TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 notH6435 thy burntH5930 offeringsH5930 in everyH3605 placeH4725 that thou seest:

14but in the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 in one of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burntH5930 offeringsH3068, and there thou shalt doH6213 allH3605 that I commandH6680 thee.
