Deuteronomy 12:1-32

These [are] the statutes
<02706>
and judgments
<04941>_,
which ye shall observe
<08104> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)
in the land
<0776>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of thy fathers
<01>
giveth
<05414> (8804)
thee to possess
<03423> (8800)
it, all the days
<03117>
that ye live
<02416>
upon the earth
<0127>_.
Ye shall utterly
<06> (8763)
destroy
<06> (8762)
all the places
<04725>_,
wherein the nations
<01471>
which
<0834>
ye shall possess
<03423> (8802)
served
<05647> (8804)
their gods
<0430>_,
upon the high
<07311> (8802)
mountains
<02022>_,
and upon the hills
<01389>_,
and under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_:
{possess: or, inherit}
And ye shall overthrow
<05422> (8765)
their altars
<04196>_,
and break
<07665> (8765)
their pillars
<04676>_,
and burn
<08313> (8799)
their groves
<0842>
with fire
<0784>_;
and ye shall hew down
<01438> (8762)
the graven images
<06456>
of their gods
<0430>_,
and destroy
<06> (8765)
the names
<08034>
of them out of that place
<04725>_.
{overthrow: Heb. break down}
Ye shall not do so
<06213> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_.
But unto the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)
out of all your tribes
<07626>
to put
<07760> (8800)
his name
<08034>
there, [even] unto his habitation
<07933>
shall ye seek
<01875> (8799)_,
and thither thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)_:
And thither ye shall bring
<0935> (8689)
your burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and your sacrifices
<02077>_,
and your tithes
<04643>_,
and heave offerings
<08641>
of your hand
<03027>_,
and your vows
<05088>_,
and your freewill offerings
<05071>_,
and the firstlings
<01062>
of your herds
<01241>
and of your flocks
<06629>_:
And there ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
and ye shall rejoice
<08055> (8804)
in all that ye put
<04916>
your hand
<03027>
unto, ye and your households
<01004>_,
wherein the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
thee.
Ye shall not do
<06213> (8799)
after all [the things] that we do
<06213> (8802)
here this day
<03117>_,
every man
<0376>
whatsoever [is] right
<03477>
in his own eyes
<05869>_.
For ye are not as yet come
<0935> (8804)
to the rest
<04496>
and to the inheritance
<05159>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
you.
But [when] ye go over
<05674> (8804)
Jordan
<03383>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
which the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
giveth you to inherit
<05157> (8688)_,
and [when] he giveth you rest
<05117> (8689)
from all your enemies
<0341> (8802)
round about
<05439>_,
so that ye dwell
<03427> (8804)
in safety
<0983>_;
Then there shall be a place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)
to cause his name
<08034>
to dwell
<07931> (8763)
there; thither shall ye bring
<0935> (8686)
all that I command
<06680> (8764)
you; your burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and your sacrifices
<02077>_,
your tithes
<04643>_,
and the heave offering
<08641>
of your hand
<03027>_,
and all your choice
<04005>
vows
<05088>
which ye vow
<05087> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
{your choice...: Heb. the choice of your vows}
And ye shall rejoice
<08055> (8804)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
ye, and your sons
<01121>_,
and your daughters
<01323>_,
and your menservants
<05650>_,
and your maidservants
<0519>_,
and the Levite
<03881>
that [is] within your gates
<08179>_;
forasmuch
<03588>
as he hath no part
<02506>
nor inheritance
<05159>
with you.
Take heed
<08104> (8734)
to thyself that thou offer
<05927> (8686)
not thy burnt offerings
<05930>
in every place
<04725>
that thou seest
<07200> (8799)_:
But in the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)
in one
<0259>
of thy tribes
<07626>_,
there thou shalt offer
<05927> (8686)
thy burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and there thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)
all that I command
<06680> (8764)
thee.
Notwithstanding thou mayest kill
<02076> (8799)
and eat
<0398> (8804)
flesh
<01320>
in all thy gates
<08179>_,
whatsoever thy soul
<05315>
lusteth after
<0185>_,
according to the blessing
<01293>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
which he hath given
<05414> (8804)
thee: the unclean
<02931>
and the clean
<02889>
may eat
<0398> (8799)
thereof, as of the roebuck
<06643>_,
and as of the hart
<0354>_.
Only ye shall not eat
<0398> (8799)
the blood
<01818>_;
ye shall pour
<08210> (8799)
it upon the earth
<0776>
as water
<04325>_.
Thou mayest
<03201> (8799)
not eat
<0398> (8800)
within thy gates
<08179>
the tithe
<04643>
of thy corn
<01715>_,
or of thy wine
<08492>_,
or of thy oil
<03323>_,
or the firstlings
<01062>
of thy herds
<01241>
or of thy flock
<06629>_,
nor any of thy vows
<05088>
which thou vowest
<05087> (8799)_,
nor thy freewill offerings
<05071>_,
or heave offering
<08641>
of thine hand
<03027>_:
But thou must eat
<0398> (8799)
them before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
in the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)_,
thou, and thy son
<01121>_,
and thy daughter
<01323>_,
and thy manservant
<05650>_,
and thy maidservant
<0519>_,
and the Levite
<03881>
that [is] within thy gates
<08179>_:
and thou shalt rejoice
<08055> (8804)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
in all that thou puttest
<04916>
thine hands
<03027>
unto.
Take heed
<08104> (8734)
to thyself that thou forsake
<05800> (8799)
not the Levite
<03881>
as long as thou livest
<03117>
upon the earth
<0127>_.
{as long...: Heb. all thy days}
When the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall enlarge
<07337> (8686)
thy border
<01366>_,
as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)
thee, and thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
I will eat
<0398> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_,
because thy soul
<05315>
longeth
<0183> (8762)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
flesh
<01320>_;
thou mayest eat
<0398> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_,
whatsoever thy soul
<05315>
lusteth after
<0185>_.
If the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath chosen
<0977> (8799)
to put
<07760> (8800)
his name
<08034>
there be too far
<07368> (8799)
from thee, then thou shalt kill
<02076> (8804)
of thy herd
<01241>
and of thy flock
<06629>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
thee, as I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee, and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8804)
in thy gates
<08179>
whatsoever thy soul
<05315>
lusteth after
<0185>_.
Even as the roebuck
<06643>
and the hart
<0354>
is eaten
<0398> (8735)_,
so thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)
them: the unclean
<02931>
and the clean
<02889>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
[of] them alike
<03162>_.
Only be sure
<02388> (8798)
that thou eat
<0398> (8800)
not the blood
<01818>_:
for the blood
<01818>
[is] the life
<05315>_;
and thou mayest not eat
<0398> (8799)
the life
<05315>
with the flesh
<01320>_.
{be...: Heb. be strong}
Thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)
it; thou shalt pour
<08210> (8799)
it upon the earth
<0776>
as water
<04325>_.
Thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)
it; that it may go well
<03190> (8799)
with thee, and with thy children
<01121>
after
<0310>
thee, when thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)
[that which is] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Only thy holy things
<06944>
which thou hast, and thy vows
<05088>_,
thou shalt take
<05375> (8799)_,
and go
<0935> (8804)
unto the place
<04725>
which the LORD
<03068>
shall choose
<0977> (8799)_:
And thou shalt offer
<06213> (8804)
thy burnt offerings
<05930>_,
the flesh
<01320>
and the blood
<01818>_,
upon the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_:
and the blood
<01818>
of thy sacrifices
<02077>
shall be poured out
<08210> (8735)
upon the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)
the flesh
<01320>_.
Observe
<08104> (8798)
and hear
<08085> (8804)
all these words
<01697>
which I command
<06680> (8764)
thee, that it may go well
<03190> (8799)
with thee, and with thy children
<01121>
after
<0310>
thee for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
when thou doest
<06213> (8799)
[that which is] good
<02896>
and right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_.
When the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall cut off
<03772> (8686)
the nations
<01471>
from before
<06440>
thee, whither thou goest
<0935> (8802)
to possess
<03423> (8800)
them, and thou succeedest
<03423> (8804)
them, and dwellest
<03427> (8804)
in their land
<0776>_;
{succeedest...: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest them}
Take heed
<08104> (8734)
to thyself that thou be not snared
<05367> (8735)
by following
<0310>
them, after
<0310>
that they be destroyed
<08045> (8736)
from before
<06440>
thee; and that thou enquire
<01875> (8799)
not after their gods
<0430>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
How did these nations
<01471>
serve
<05647> (8799)
their gods
<0430>_?
even so will I do
<06213> (8799)
likewise
<01571>_.
{by...: Heb. after them}
Thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)
so unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_:
for every abomination
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_,
which he hateth
<08130> (8804)_,
have they done
<06213> (8804)
unto their gods
<0430>_;
for even their sons
<01121>
and their daughters
<01323>
they have burnt
<08313> (8799)
in the fire
<0784>
to their gods
<0430>_.
{to the: Heb. of the}
What thing
<01697>
soever I command
<06680> (8764)
you, observe
<08104> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)
it: thou shalt not add
<03254> (8686)
thereto, nor diminish
<01639> (8799)
from it.
