05:012:001 These are the statutes and judgments, which
ye shall observe
to
do in the land, which the lord God of thy fathers
giveth
thee
to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
05:012:002 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places,
wherein the nations
which
ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high
mountains,
and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
05:012:003 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and
break their pillars,
and
burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down
the
graven
images of their gods, and destroy the names of them
out
of
that place.
05:012:004 Ye shall not do so unto the lord your God.
05:012:005 But unto the place which the lord
your God shall choose out of
all
your tribes to put his name there, even unto his
habitation
shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
05:012:006 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings,
and your
sacrifices,
and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand,
and
your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings
of
your herds and of your flocks:
05:012:007 And there ye shall eat before the lord
your God, and ye shall
rejoice
in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your
households,
wherein the lord thy God hath blessed thee.
05:012:008 Ye shall not do after all the things that
we do here this day,
every
man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
05:012:009 For ye are not as yet come to the rest
and to the inheritance,
which
the lord your God giveth you.
05:012:010 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in
the land which the
lord
your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth
you
rest
from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell
in
safety;
05:012:011 Then there shall be a place which the lord
your God shall
choose
to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye
bring
all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your
sacrifices,
your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand,
and
all your choice vows which ye vow unto the lord:
05:012:012 And ye shall rejoice before the lord
your God, ye, and your
sons,
and your daughters, and your menservants, and your
maidservants,
and the Levite that is within your gates;
forasmuch
as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
05:012:013 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not
thy burnt offerings
in
every place that thou seest:
05:012:014 But in the place which the lord shall
choose in one of thy
tribes,
there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there
thou
shalt do all that I command thee.
