Deuteronomio 12:8 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:8

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here
In the wilderness, where they had no abiding, but were continually removing from place to place, and could not always observe punctually and precisely the exact order and time of their sacrifices and other things, nor offer them at any certain place, and many were doubtless neglected by them; see ( Amos 5:25 )

every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes;
that did he, brought the above things when and where he pleased; not that there was no regard had to the laws and rules given, as if there was no priest in Israel; but they were not so exactly in all circumstances conformed to as they would be obliged to when they came into the land of Canaan, and had a certain place to bring their offerings to; so some in Aben Ezra observe, that one would give the firstling, another not, because it depended on the land, or was what they were obliged to only when they came into the land of Canaan; see ( Exodus 13:11 ) but he thinks the sense is, that they did not all fear God, and so did not do their duty.

Deuteronomio 12:8 In-Context

6 Y allí traeréis vuestros holocaustos, vuestros sacrificios, vuestros diezmos, la contribución de vuestra mano, vuestras ofrendas votivas, vuestras ofrendas voluntarias, y el primogénito de vuestras vacas y de vuestras ovejas.
7 Allí también vosotros y vuestras familias comeréis en presencia del SEÑOR vuestro Dios, y os alegraréis en todas vuestras empresas en las cuales el SEÑOR vuestro Dios os ha bendecido.
8 De ninguna manera haréis lo que hacemos aquí hoy, que cada cual hace lo que le parece bien a sus propios ojos;
9 porque todavía no habéis llegado al lugar de reposo y a la heredad que el SEÑOR vuestro Dios os da.
10 Cuando crucéis el Jordán y habitéis en la tierra que el SEÑOR vuestro Dios os da en heredad, y El os dé descanso de todos vuestros enemigos alrededor de vosotros para que habitéis seguros,
