Deuteronomy 12:1
The Central Sanctuary
12:1 These are the statutes and ordinances you must be careful to obey as long as you live in the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, 1 has given you to possess. 2
Deuteronomy 12:8
12:8 You must not do like we are doing here today, with everyone 3 doing what seems best to him,
1 tn Heb “fathers.”
2 tn Heb “you must be careful to obey in the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess all the days which you live in the land.” This adverbial statement modifies “to obey,” not “to possess,” so the order in the translation has been rearranged to make this clear.
3 tn Heb “a man.”
