Deuteronomy 12:5-7
-
"But unto
the place which YHVH
your God shall choose out of all your
tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation
shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: And thither
ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your
sacrifices, and your
tithes, and heave offerings of your
hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and
the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: And
there ye shall eat
before YHVH your God, and
ye shall
rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your
households, wherein YHVH thy God hath blessed thee."

Deuteronomy 12:11-14
-
"Then
there shall be a
place which YHVH your God shall choose to cause his name
to dwell there; thither shall ye bring
all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your
sacrifices, your
tithes, and the heave offering of your
hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto YHVH:
And ye shall rejoice
before YHVH your God, ye, and your sons,
and your daughters, and your menservants, and your
maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates;
forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt
offerings in every place that thou seest: But in the
place which YHVH shall choose in one of thy tribes,
there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there
thou shalt do all that I command thee."
-
Deuteronomy 14:22-25
-
"Thou
shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,
that the field bringeth forth year by year.
And thou shalt eat
before YHVH thy God, in the place which he shall choose
to place his name there, the tithe of
thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the
firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou
mayest learn to fear YHVH thy God always. And if the
way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to
carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which
YHVH thy God shall choose to set his name there, when
YHVH thy God hath blessed thee: Then shalt thou turn it
into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and
shalt go unto the place which YHVH thy God shall
choose:"
-
Deuteronomy 16:15-17
-
"Seven days shalt thou keep a
solemn feast unto YHVH thy God in the place which YHVH
shall choose: because YHVH thy God shall bless thee in
all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,
therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
Three times in a year
shall all thy males appear before YHVH thy God in the
place which he shall choose; in the
feast of unleavened
bread, and in the
feast of weeks,
and in the feast of
tabernacles: and
they shall not appear
before YHVH empty: Every man shall give
as he is able, according to the blessing of YHVH thy God
which he hath given thee."
