Deuteronomy 12:25-32
12:25 You must not eat it so that it may go well with you and your children after you; you will be doing what is right in the
Lord’s sight.
12:26 Only the holy things and votive offerings that belong to you, you must pick up and take to the place the
Lord will choose.
12:27 You must offer your burnt offerings, both meat and blood, on the altar of the
Lord your God; the blood of your other sacrifices
you must pour out on his
altar while you eat the meat.
12:28 Pay careful attention to all these things I am commanding you so that it may always go well with you and your children after you when you do what is good and right in the sight of the
Lord your God.
The Abomination of Pagan Gods
12:29 When the Lord your God eliminates the nations from the place where you are headed and you dispossess them, you will settle down in their land.
12:30 After they have been destroyed from your presence, be careful not to be ensnared like they are; do not pursue their gods and say, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.”
12:31 You must not worship the Lord your God the way they do! For everything that is abhorrent to him, everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods!
Idolatry and False Prophets
12:32 (13:1) You must be careful to do everything I am commanding you. Do not add to it or subtract from it!
