Deuteronomy 12:5-11 ▼

5 Instead, you⁺ must seek the place the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} will choose from among all your⁺ tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name, and there you must go.

6 To that place you⁺ are to bring your⁺ burnt offerings and sacrifices, your⁺ tithes and heave offerings, your⁺ vow offerings and freewill offerings, as well as the firstborn of your⁺ herds and flocks.

7 There, in the presence of the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem}, you and your⁺ households shall eat and rejoice in all you⁺ do, because the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka} has blessed you.

8 You⁺ are not to do as we are doing here today, where everyone does what seems right in his own eyes.

9 For you⁺ have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka} is giving you.

10 When you⁺ cross the Jordan (flowing down) and live in the land that the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} is giving you⁺ as an inheritance, and He gives you⁺ rest from all the enemies around you⁺ and you⁺ dwell securely,

11 then the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem} will choose a dwelling for His Name. And there you⁺ are to bring everything I command you⁺: your⁺ burnt offerings and sacrifices, your⁺ tithes and special gifts, and all the choice offerings you⁺ vow to the LORD.
