12:1 "These
are
the
statutes
and
rules
that
you
shall
be
careful
to
do
in
the
land
that
the
LORD,
the
God
of
your
fathers,
has
given
you
to
possess,
all
the
days
that
you
live
on
the
earth.
12:2 You
shall
surely
destroy
all
the
places
where
the
nations
whom
you
shall
dispossess
served
their
gods,
on
the
high
mountains
and
on
the
hills
and
under
every
green
tree.
12:3 You
shall
tear
down
their
altars
and
dash
in
pieces
their
pillars
and
burn
their
Asherim
with
fire.
You
shall
chop
down
the
carved
images
of
their
gods
and
destroy
their
name
out
of
that
place.
12:4 You
shall
not
worship
the
LORD
your
God
in
that
way.
12:5 But
you
shall
seek
the
place
that
the
LORD
your
God
will
choose
out
of
all
your
tribes
to
put
his
name
and
make
his
habitation
there.
There
you
shall
go,
12:6 and
there
you
shall
bring
your
burnt
offerings
and
your
sacrifices,
your
tithes
and
the
contribution
that
you
present,
your
vow
offerings,
your
freewill
offerings,
and
the
firstborn
of
your
herd
and
of
your
flock.
12:7 And
there
you
shall
eat
before
the
LORD
your
God,
and
you
shall
rejoice,
you
and
your
households,
in
all
that
you
undertake,
in
which
the
LORD
your
God
has
blessed
you.
12:8 "You
shall
not
do
according
to
all
that
we
are
doing
here
today,
everyone
doing
whatever
is
right
in
his
own
eyes,
12:9 for
you
have
not
as
yet
come
to
the
rest
and
to
the
inheritance
that
the
LORD
your
God
is
giving
you.
12:10 But
when
you
go
over
the
Jordan
and
live
in
the
land
that
the
LORD
your
God
is
giving
you
to
inherit,
and
when
he
gives
you
rest
from
all
your
enemies
around,
so
that
you
live
in
safety,
12:11 then
to
the
place
that
the
LORD
your
God
will
choose,
to
make
his
name
dwell
there,
there
you
shall
bring
all
that
I
command
you:
your
burnt
offerings
and
your
sacrifices,
your
tithes
and
the
contribution
that
you
present,
and
all
your
finest
vow
offerings
that
you
vow
to
the
LORD.
12:12 And
you
shall
rejoice
before
the
LORD
your
God,
you
and
your
sons
and
your
daughters,
your
male
servants
and
your
female
servants,
and
the
Levite
that
is
within
your
towns,
since
he
has
no
portion
or
inheritance
with
you.
12:13 Take
care
that
you
do
not
offer
your
burnt
offerings
at
any
place
that
you
see,
12:14 but
at
the
place
that
the
LORD
will
choose
in
one
of
your
tribes,
there
you
shall
offer
your
burnt
offerings,
and
there
you
shall
do
all
that
I
am
commanding
you.
12:15 "However,
you
may
slaughter
and
eat
meat
within
any
of
your
towns,
as
much
as
you
desire,
according
to
the
blessing
of
the
LORD
your
God
that
he
has
given
you.
The
unclean
and
the
clean
may
eat
of
it,
as
of
the
gazelle
and
as
of
the
deer.
12:16 Only
you
shall
not
eat
the
blood;
you
shall
pour
it
out
on
the
earth
like
water.
12:17 You
may
not
eat
within
your
towns
the
tithe
of
your
grain
or
of
your
wine
or
of
your
oil,
or
the
firstborn
of
your
herd
or
of
your
flock,
or
any
of
your
vow
offerings
that
you
vow,
or
your
freewill
offerings
or
the
contribution
that
you
present,
12:18 but
you
shall
eat
them
before
the
LORD
your
God
in
the
place
that
the
LORD
your
God
will
choose,
you
and
your
son
and
your
daughter,
your
male
servant
and
your
female
servant,
and
the
Levite
who
is
within
your
towns.
And
you
shall
rejoice
before
the
LORD
your
God
in
all
that
you
undertake.
12:19 Take
care
that
you
do
not
neglect
the
Levite
as
long
as
you
live
in
your
land.
12:20 "When
the
LORD
your
God
enlarges
your
territory,
as
he
has
promised
you,
and
you
say,
'I
will
eat
meat,'
because
you
crave
meat,
you
may
eat
meat
whenever
you
desire.
12:21 If
the
place
that
the
LORD
your
God
will
choose
to
put
his
name
there
is
too
far
from
you,
then
you
may
kill
any
of
your
herd
or
your
flock,
which
the
LORD
has
given
you,
as
I
have
commanded
you,
and
you
may
eat
within
your
towns
whenever
you
desire.
12:22 Just
as
the
gazelle
or
the
deer
is
eaten,
so
you
may
eat
of
it.
The
unclean
and
the
clean
alike
may
eat
of
it.
12:23 Only
be
sure
that
you
do
not
eat
the
blood,
for
the
blood
is
the
life,
and
you
shall
not
eat
the
life
with
the
flesh.
12:24 You
shall
not
eat
it;
you
shall
pour
it
out
on
the
earth
like
water.
12:25 You
shall
not
eat
it,
that
all
may
go
well
with
you
and
with
your
children
after
you,
when
you
do
what
is
right
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD.
12:26 But
the
holy
things
that
are
due
from
you,
and
your
vow
offerings,
you
shall
take,
and
you
shall
go
to
the
place
that
the
LORD
will
choose,
12:27 and
offer
your
burnt
offerings,
the
flesh
and
the
blood,
on
the
altar
of
the
LORD
your
God.
The
blood
of
your
sacrifices
shall
be
poured
out
on
the
altar
of
the
LORD
your
God,
but
the
flesh
you
may
eat.
12:28 Be
careful
to
obey
all
these
words
that
I
command
you,
that
it
may
go
well
with
you
and
with
your
children
after
you
forever,
when
you
do
what
is
good
and
right
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
your
God.
12:29 "When
the
LORD
your
God
cuts
off
before
you
the
nations
whom
you
go
in
to
dispossess,
and
you
dispossess
them
and
dwell
in
their
land,
12:30 take
care
that
you
be
not
ensnared
to
follow
them,
after
they
have
been
destroyed
before
you,
and
that
you
do
not
inquire
about
their
gods,
saying,
'How
did
these
nations
serve
their
gods--that
I
also
may
do
the
same.'
12:31 You
shall
not
worship
the
LORD
your
God
in
that
way,
for
every
abominable
thing
that
the
LORD
hates
they
have
done
for
their
gods,
for
they
even
burn
their
sons
and
their
daughters
in
the
fire
to
their
gods.
12:32 "Everything
that
I
command
you,
you
shall
be
careful
to
do.
You
shall
not
add
to
it
or
take
from
it.
