KJV_Strong : Deuteronomy 12
1. These[H428] are the statutes[H2706] and judgments,[H4941] which[H834] ye shall observe[H8104] to do[H6213] in the land,[H776] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of thy fathers[H1] giveth[H5414] thee to possess[H3423] it, all[H3605] the days[H3117] that[H834] ye[H859] live[H2416] upon[H5921] the earth.[H127]
2. Ye shall utterly destroy[H6] [H6] [H853] all[H3605] the places,[H4725] wherein[H834] [H8033] the nations[H1471] which[H834] [H853] ye[H859] shall possess[H3423] served[H5647] [H853] their gods,[H430] upon[H5921] the high[H7311] mountains,[H2022] and upon[H5921] the hills,[H1389] and under[H8478] every[H3605] green[H7488] tree: [H6086]
3. And ye shall overthrow[H5422] [H853] their altars,[H4196] and break[H7665] [H853] their pillars,[H4676] and burn[H8313] their groves[H842] with fire;[H784] and ye shall hew down[H1438] the graven images[H6456] of their gods,[H430] and destroy[H6] [H853] the names[H8034] of them out of[H4480] that[H1931] place.[H4725]
4. Ye shall not[H3808] do[H6213] so[H3651] unto the LORD[H3068] your God.[H430]
5. But[H3588] [H518] unto[H413] the place[H4725] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430] shall choose[H977] out of all[H4480] [H3605] your tribes[H7626] to put[H7760] [H853] his name[H8034] there,[H8033] even unto his habitation[H7933] shall ye seek,[H1875] and thither[H8033] thou shalt come: [H935]
6. And thither[H8033] ye shall bring[H935] your burnt offerings,[H5930] and your sacrifices,[H2077] and your tithes,[H4643] and[H853] heave offerings[H8641] of your hand,[H3027] and your vows,[H5088] and your freewill offerings,[H5071] and the firstlings[H1062] of your herds[H1241] and of your flocks: [H6629]
7. And there[H8033] ye shall eat[H398] before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] and ye shall rejoice[H8055] in all[H3605] that ye put[H4916] your hand[H3027] unto, ye[H859] and your households,[H1004] wherein[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath blessed[H1288] thee.
8. Ye shall not[H3808] do[H6213] after all[H3605] the things that[H834] we[H587] do[H6213] here[H6311] this day,[H3117] every man[H376] whatsoever[H3605] is right[H3477] in his own eyes.[H5869]
9. For[H3588] ye are not[H3808] as yet[H5704] [H6258] come[H935] to[H413] the rest[H4496] and to[H413] the inheritance,[H5159] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430] giveth[H5414] you.
10. But when ye go over[H5674] [H853] Jordan,[H3383] and dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430] giveth you to inherit,[H5157] [H853] and when he giveth you rest[H5117] from all[H4480] [H3605] your enemies[H341] round about,[H4480] [H5439] so that ye dwell[H3427] in safety;[H983]
11. Then there shall be[H1961] a place[H4725] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430] shall choose[H977] to cause his name[H8034] to dwell[H7931] there;[H8033] thither[H8033] shall ye bring[H935] [H853] all[H3605] that[H834] I[H595] command[H6680] you; your burnt offerings,[H5930] and your sacrifices,[H2077] your tithes,[H4643] and the heave offering[H8641] of your hand,[H3027] and all[H3605] your choice[H4005] vows[H5088] which[H834] ye vow[H5087] unto the LORD: [H3068]
12. And ye shall rejoice[H8055] before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] ye,[H859] and your sons,[H1121] and your daughters,[H1323] and your menservants,[H5650] and your maidservants,[H519] and the Levite[H3881] that[H834] is within your gates;[H8179] forasmuch[H3588] as he hath no[H369] part[H2506] nor inheritance[H5159] with[H854] you.
13. Take heed[H8104] to thyself that[H6435] thou offer[H5927] not thy burnt offerings[H5930] in every[H3605] place[H4725] that[H834] thou seest: [H7200]
14. But[H3588] [H518] in the place[H4725] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] shall choose[H977] in one[H259] of thy tribes,[H7626] there[H8033] thou shalt offer[H5927] thy burnt offerings,[H5930] and there[H8033] thou shalt do[H6213] all[H3605] that[H834] I[H595] command[H6680] thee.
15. Notwithstanding[H7535] thou mayest kill[H2076] and eat[H398] flesh[H1320] in all[H3605] thy gates,[H8179] whatsoever[H3605] thy soul[H5315] lusteth after,[H185] according to the blessing[H1293] of the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] which[H834] he hath given[H5414] thee: the unclean[H2931] and the clean[H2889] may eat[H398] thereof, as of the roebuck,[H6643] and as of the hart.[H354]
16. Only[H7535] ye shall not[H3808] eat[H398] the blood;[H1818] ye shall pour[H8210] it upon[H5921] the earth[H776] as water.[H4325]
17. Thou mayest[H3201] not[H3808] eat[H398] within thy gates[H8179] the tithe[H4643] of thy corn,[H1715] or of thy wine,[H8492] or of thy oil,[H3323] or the firstlings[H1062] of thy herds[H1241] or of thy flock,[H6629] nor any[H3605] of thy vows[H5088] which[H834] thou vowest,[H5087] nor thy freewill offerings,[H5071] or heave offering[H8641] of thine hand: [H3027]
18. But[H3588] [H518] thou must eat[H398] them before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] in the place[H4725] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] shall choose,[H977] thou,[H859] and thy son,[H1121] and thy daughter,[H1323] and thy manservant,[H5650] and thy maidservant,[H519] and the Levite[H3881] that[H834] is within thy gates:[H8179] and thou shalt rejoice[H8055] before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] in all[H3605] that thou puttest[H4916] thine hands[H3027] unto.
19. Take heed[H8104] to thyself that thou forsake not[H6435] [H5800] [H853] the Levite[H3881] as long as thou livest[H3605] [H3117] upon[H5921] the earth.[H127]
20. When[H3588] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] shall enlarge[H7337] [H853] thy border,[H1366] as[H834] he hath promised[H1696] thee, and thou shalt say,[H559] I will eat[H398] flesh,[H1320] because[H3588] thy soul[H5315] longeth[H183] to eat[H398] flesh;[H1320] thou mayest eat[H398] flesh,[H1320] whatsoever[H3605] thy soul[H5315] lusteth after.[H185]
21. If[H3588] the place[H4725] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath chosen[H977] to put[H7760] his name[H8034] there[H8033] be too far[H7368] from[H4480] thee, then thou shalt kill[H2076] of thy herd[H4480] [H1241] and of thy flock,[H4480] [H6629] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] hath given[H5414] thee as[H834] I have commanded[H6680] thee, and thou shalt eat[H398] in thy gates[H8179] whatsoever[H3605] thy soul[H5315] lusteth after.[H185]
22. Even[H389] as[H834] [H853] the roebuck[H6643] and the hart[H354] is eaten,[H398] so[H3651] thou shalt eat[H398] them: the unclean[H2931] and the clean[H2889] shall eat[H398] of them alike.[H3162]
23. Only[H7535] be sure[H2388] that thou eat[H398] not[H1115] the blood:[H1818] for[H3588] the blood[H1818] is the life;[H5315] and thou mayest not[H3808] eat[H398] the life[H5315] with[H5973] the flesh.[H1320]
24. Thou shalt not[H3808] eat[H398] it; thou shalt pour[H8210] it upon[H5921] the earth[H776] as water.[H4325]
25. Thou shalt not[H3808] eat[H398] it; that[H4616] it may go well[H3190] with thee, and with thy children[H1121] after[H310] thee, when[H3588] thou shalt do[H6213] that which is right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD.[H3068]
26. Only[H7535] thy holy things[H6944] which[H834] thou hast,[H1961] and thy vows,[H5088] thou shalt take,[H5375] and go[H935] unto[H413] the place[H4725] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] shall choose: [H977]
27. And thou shalt offer[H6213] thy burnt offerings,[H5930] the flesh[H1320] and the blood,[H1818] upon[H5921] the altar[H4196] of the LORD[H3068] thy God:[H430] and the blood[H1818] of thy sacrifices[H2077] shall be poured out[H8210] upon[H5921] the altar[H4196] of the LORD[H3068] thy God,[H430] and thou shalt eat[H398] the flesh.[H1320]
28. Observe[H8104] and hear[H8085] [H853] all[H3605] these[H428] words[H1697] which[H834] I[H595] command[H6680] thee, that[H4616] it may go well[H3190] with thee, and with thy children[H1121] after[H310] thee forever,[H5704] [H5769] when[H3588] thou doest[H6213] that which is good[H2896] and right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] thy God.[H430]
29. When[H3588] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] shall cut off[H3772] [H853] the nations[H1471] from before[H4480] [H6440] thee, whither[H834] [H8033] thou[H859] goest[H935] to possess[H3423] them, and thou succeedest[H3423] them, and dwellest[H3427] in their land;[H776]
30. Take heed[H8104] to thyself that[H6435] thou be not snared[H5367] by following[H310] them, after that[H310] they be destroyed[H8045] from before[H4480] [H6440] thee; and that[H6435] thou inquire[H1875] not after their gods,[H430] saying,[H559] How[H349] did these[H428] nations[H1471] serve[H5647] [H853] their gods?[H430] even so[H3651] will I[H589] do[H6213] likewise.[H1571]
31. Thou shalt not[H3808] do[H6213] so[H3651] unto the LORD[H3068] thy God:[H430] for[H3588] every[H3605] abomination[H8441] to the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] he hateth,[H8130] have they done[H6213] unto their gods;[H430] for[H3588] even[H1571] [H853] their sons[H1121] and their daughters[H1323] they have burnt[H8313] in the fire[H784] to their gods.[H430]
32. [H853] What thing soever[H3605] [H1697] [H834] I[H595] command[H6680] you, observe[H8104] to do[H6213] it: thou shalt not[H3808] add[H3254] thereto,[H5921] nor[H3808] diminish[H1639] from[H4480] it.
