Deuteronomy 12:11

11 The LORD your God will choose a special place. He will put his Name there. That's where you must bring everything I command you to bring. That includes your burnt offerings and sacrifices. It includes your special gifts and a tenth of everything you produce. It also includes all of the things of value that you promised to give to the Lord.

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 That's because you haven't yet reached the place the LORD is giving you. Your God will give you peace and rest there.

10 But first you will go across the Jordan River. You will settle in the land he's giving you. It will belong to you as your share. He will give you peace and rest from all of your enemies around you. You will live in safety.

11 The LORD your God will choose a special place. He will put his Name there. That's where you must bring everything I command you to bring. That includes your burnt offerings and sacrifices. It includes your special gifts and a tenth of everything you produce. It also includes all of the things of value that you promised to give to the Lord.

12 Be filled with joy there in the sight of the LORD your God. Your children should also be joyful. So should your male and female servants. And so should the Levites from your towns. The Levites won't receive any part of the land as their share.

13 Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you want to.
