Deuteronomy 16:5

5 non poteris immolare phase in qualibet urbium tuarum quas Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi

Deuteronomy 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:5

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates,
&c.] Or cities, as the Targum of Jonathan, so called because they usually had gates to them, in which public affairs were transacted; but in none of these, only in the city of Jerusalem, the place the Lord chose, might they kill the passover and eat it, and other passover offerings:

which the Lord thy God giveth thee;
in the land of Canaan, and which land was given them of God.

Deuteronomy 16:5 In-Context

3 non comedes in eo panem fermentatum septem diebus comedes absque fermento adflictionis panem quoniam in pavore egressus es de Aegypto ut memineris diei egressionis tuae de Aegypto omnibus diebus vitae tuae

4 non apparebit fermentum in omnibus terminis tuis septem diebus et non manebit de carnibus eius quod immolatum est vesperi in die primo mane

5 non poteris immolare phase in qualibet urbium tuarum quas Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi

6 sed in loco quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus ut habitet nomen eius ibi immolabis phase vesperi ad solis occasum quando egressus es de Aegypto

7 et coques et comedes in loco quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus maneque consurgens vades in tabernacula tua
