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 because up to this point you haven't yet reached the place of rest or the inheritance the LORD your God is giving you.

10 But you are about to cross the Jordan River and will settle in the land the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance. Then he will give you rest from all your enemies on every side so that you live safely and securely.

11 At that point, you must bring all that I am commanding you, your entirely burned offerings, your sacrifices, your tenth-part gifts, your contributions, and all your best payments that you solemnly promised to the LORD, to the location the LORD your God selects for his name to reside.

12 Then you will rejoice in the LORD your God's presence: each of you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites who dwell in your cities because they have no designated inheritance.

13 But watch yourself! Make sure you don't offer up your entirely burned offerings in just any place you see.
