Deuteronomy 12:26 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:26

Only thy holy things which thou hast
Which the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan interpret of the tithe of their holy things, and Aben Ezra of their burnt offerings and peace offerings; they seem to include all in ( Deuteronomy 12:17 )

and thy vows thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the Lord
shall choose;
so often referred to, but not named; see ( Deuteronomy 12:5 ) .

Deuteronomy 12:26 In-Context

24 Don't eat it; pour it out on the ground like water.
25 Don't eat it; then you'll have a good life, you and your children after you. By all means, do the right thing in God's eyes.
26 And this: Lift high your Holy-Offerings and your Vow-Offerings and bring them to the place God designates.
27 Sacrifice your Absolution-Offerings, the meat and blood, on the Altar of God, your God; pour out the blood of the Absolution-Offering on the Altar of God, your God; then you can go ahead and eat the meat.
28 Be vigilant, listen obediently to these words that I command you so that you'll have a good life, you and your children, for a long, long time, doing what is good and right in the eyes of God, your God.
