Deuteronomy 12:9-11

12:9 for you have not yet come to the final stop ¹  and inheritance the Lord your God is giving you. 12:10 When you do go across the Jordan River ²  and settle in the land he ³  is granting you as an inheritance and you find relief from all the enemies who surround you, you will live in safety. ⁴  12:11 Then you must come to the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to reside, bringing ⁵  everything I am commanding you – your burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, ⁶  and all your choice votive offerings which you devote to him. ⁷ 

¹ tn Heb “rest.”

² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

⁴ tn In the Hebrew text vv. 10-11 are one long, complex sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two sentences.

⁵ tn Heb “and it will be (to) the place where the Lord your God chooses to cause his name to dwell you will bring.”

⁶ tn Heb “heave offerings of your hand.”

⁷ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.
