Deuteronomy 12:14 Meaning and Commentary

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 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.

14 No, only at the location the LORD selects from one of your tribal areas—that's where you must offer up your entirely burned offerings and that's where you must perform everything I'm telling you.

15 However, whenever you wish, you may slaughter and eat meat, as the LORD your God sees fit to bless you with such in your cities. People who are polluted and people who are purified can join in the feast, as they would if they were eating gazelle or deer.

16 But you must not consume any of the animals' blood. Pour it out on the ground, just like water.
