Deuteronomy 12:14

But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy
tribes
Which tribe is not named, nor what place in that tribe; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 12:5),

there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings;
on the altar of burnt offering there placed:

and there shalt thou do all that I command thee;
respecting sanctuary service, and particularly those things observed in ( Deuteronomy 12:6 ) .

Deuteronomy 12:14 In-Context

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.

14 But only at the place that the Lord will choose in one of your tribes—there you shall offer your burnt offerings and there you shall do everything I command you.

15 Yet whenever you desire you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, according to the blessing that the Lord your God has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as they would of gazelle or deer.

16 The blood, however, you must not eat; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
