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 Celebrate there in the Presence of God, your God, you and your sons and daughters, your servants and maids, including the Levite living in your neighborhood because he has no place of his own in your inheritance.
13 Be extra careful: Don't offer your Absolution-Offerings just any place that strikes your fancy.
14 Offer your Absolution-Offerings only in the place that God chooses in one of your tribal regions. There and only there are you to bring all that I command you.
15 It's permissible to slaughter your nonsacrificial animals like gazelle and deer in your towns and eat all you want from them with the blessing of God, your God. Both the ritually clean and unclean may eat.
16 But you may not eat the blood. Pour the blood out on the ground like water.
