Deuteronomy 12:11

Deuteronomy 12:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:11

Then there shall be a place
Fixed and settled, and will be known to be the place:

which the Lord your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there:
where he himself would dwell, and where his name would be called, and he would be worshipped:

thither shall ye bring all that I command you, your burnt offerings and
your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offerings of your hands;
of which (See Gill on Deuteronomy 12:6)

and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord;
or, "the choice of your vows" F7; which, as Jarchi observes, was brought of their choicest things, as they ought to be; see ( Malachi 1:14 ) .

Deuteronomy 12:11 In-Context

9 for you have not yet come into the rest and the possession that the Lord your God is giving you.
10 When you cross over the Jordan and live in the land that the Lord your God is allotting to you, and when he gives you rest from your enemies all around so that you live in safety,
11 then you shall bring everything that I command you to the place that the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his name: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and your donations, and all your choice votive gifts that you vow to the Lord.
12 And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you together with your sons and your daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who reside in your towns (since they have no allotment or inheritance with you).
13 Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings at any place you happen to see.
