Deuteronomy 12:1
|
|
These are the statutes and the ordinances which
ye shall observe to do in the land which Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath
given thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:2 |
|
Ye shall surely destroy all the places wherein
the nations that ye shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains,
and upon the hills, and under every green tree: |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:3 |
|
and ye shall break down their altars, and dash
in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and ye shall hew down
the graven images of their gods; and ye shall destroy their name out of that place.
|
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:4 |
|
Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your God. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:5 |
|
But unto the place which Jehovah 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; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:6 |
|
and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings,
and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and
your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of
your flock: |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:7 |
|
and there ye shall eat before Jehovah your God,
and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households,
wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:8 |
|
Ye shall not do after all the things that we
do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:9 |
|
for ye are not as yet come to the rest and to
the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:10 |
|
But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in
the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and he giveth you rest
from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:11 |
|
then it shall come to pass that to the place
which Jehovah 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 Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:12 |
|
And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God,
ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants,
and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no portion nor
inheritance with you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:13 |
|
Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy
burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:14 |
|
but in the place which Jehovah shall choose
in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou
shalt do all that I command thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:15 |
|
Notwithstanding, thou mayest kill and eat flesh
within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing
of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat
thereof, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:16 |
|
Only ye shall not eat the blood; thou shalt
pour it out upon the earth as water. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:17 |
|
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe
of thy grain, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd
or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill-offerings,
nor the heave-offering of thy hand; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:18 |
|
but thou shalt eat them before Jehovah thy God
in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter,
and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates:
and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all that thou puttest thy hand
unto. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:19 |
|
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the
Levite as long as thou livest in thy land. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:20 |
|
When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border,
as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul
desireth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul.
|
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:21 |
|
If the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose,
to put his name there, be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd
and of thy flock, which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee; and
thou mayest eat within thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:22 |
|
Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten,
so thou shalt eat thereof: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof alike. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:23 |
|
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for
the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:24 |
|
Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out
upon the earth as water. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:25 |
|
Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with
thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right
in the eyes of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:26 |
|
Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy
vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which Jehovah shall choose: |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:27 |
|
and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the
flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices
shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and thou shalt eat the
flesh. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:28 |
|
Observe and hear all these words which I command
thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever,
when thou doest that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:29 |
|
When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations
from before thee, whither thou goest in to dispossess them, and thou dispossessest
them, and dwellest in their land; |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:30 |
|
take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared
to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou
inquire not after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even
so will I do likewise. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:31 |
|
Thou shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for
every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods;
for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.
|
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 12:32 |
|
What thing soever I command you, that shall
ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. |
