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 ) .
