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.
05:012:015 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy
gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of
the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean
may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
05:012:016 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the
earth as water.
05:012:017 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn,
or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy
flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill
offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
05:012:018 But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place
which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy
daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that
is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in
all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
05:012:019 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as
long as thou livest upon the earth.
