Deuternomium 12:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:4

Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.
] Not sacrifice to him on hills and mountains, and under green trees; though the Jews commonly refer this to the destruction of the names of God, and of any thing appertaining to the temple; that though the temples and the altars of the Heathens were to be overthrown, yet not a stone was to be taken from the house of God, or that belonged to it, nor any of his names to be blotted out; so the Targum of Jonathan and Maimonides F26, who also observes F1, that whoever removes a stone by way of destruction from the altar, or from the temple, or from the court, is to be beaten; so he that burns the holy wood.

Deuternomium 12:4 In-Context

2 Verstört alle Orte, da die Heiden, die ihr vertreiben werdet, ihren Göttern gedient haben, es sei auf hohen Bergen, auf HĂŒgeln oder unter grĂŒnen BĂ€umen,
3 und reißt um ihre AltĂ€re und zerbrecht ihre SĂ€ulen und verbrennt mit Feuer ihre Haine, und die Bilder ihrer Götter zerschlagt, und vertilgt ihren Namen aus demselben Ort.
4 Ihr sollt dem HERRN, eurem Gott, nicht also tun;
5 sondern den Ort, den der HERR, euer Gott, erwĂ€hlen wird aus allen euren StĂ€mmen, daß er seinen Namen daselbst lĂ€ĂŸt wohnen, sollt ihr aufsuchen und dahin kommen
6 und eure Brandopfer und eure andern Opfer und eure Zehnten und eurer HĂ€nde Hebe und euer GelĂŒbde und eure freiwilligen Opfer und die Erstgeburt eurer Rinder und Schafe dahin bringen.
