12:1

These [are] the statutes
<02706>

and judgments
<04941>_,

which ye shall observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

in the land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of thy fathers
<01>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

thee to possess
<03423> (8800)

it, all the days
<03117>

that ye live
<02416>

upon the earth
<0127>_.

12:2

Ye shall utterly
<06> (8763)

destroy
<06> (8762)

all the places
<04725>_,

wherein the nations
<01471>

which
<0834>

ye shall possess
<03423> (8802)

served
<05647> (8804)

their gods
<0430>_,

upon the high
<07311> (8802)

mountains
<02022>_,

and upon the hills
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_:

{possess: or, inherit}

12:3

And ye shall overthrow
<05422> (8765)

their altars
<04196>_,

and break
<07665> (8765)

their pillars
<04676>_,

and burn
<08313> (8799)

their groves
<0842>

with fire
<0784>_;

and ye shall hew down
<01438> (8762)

the graven images
<06456>

of their gods
<0430>_,

and destroy
<06> (8765)

the names
<08034>

of them out of that place
<04725>_.

{overthrow: Heb. break down}

12:4

Ye shall not do so
<06213> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

12:5

But unto the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)

out of all your tribes
<07626>

to put
<07760> (8800)

his name
<08034>

there, [even] unto his habitation
<07933>

shall ye seek
<01875> (8799)_,

and thither thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)_:

12:6

And thither ye shall bring
<0935> (8689)

your burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and your sacrifices
<02077>_,

and your tithes
<04643>_,

and heave offerings
<08641>

of your hand
<03027>_,

and your vows
<05088>_,

and your freewill offerings
<05071>_,

and the firstlings
<01062>

of your herds
<01241>

and of your flocks
<06629>_:

12:7

And there ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and ye shall rejoice
<08055> (8804)

in all that ye put
<04916>

your hand
<03027>

unto, ye and your households
<01004>_,

wherein the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

thee.

12:8

Ye shall not do
<06213> (8799)

after all [the things] that we do
<06213> (8802)

here this day
<03117>_,

every man
<0376>

whatsoever [is] right
<03477>

in his own eyes
<05869>_.

12:9

For ye are not as yet come
<0935> (8804)

to the rest
<04496>

and to the inheritance
<05159>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

you.

12:10

But [when] ye go over
<05674> (8804)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and dwell
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

giveth you to inherit
<05157> (8688)_,

and [when] he giveth you rest
<05117> (8689)

from all your enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_,

so that ye dwell
<03427> (8804)

in safety
<0983>_;

12:11

Then there shall be a place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)

to cause his name
<08034>

to dwell
<07931> (8763)

there; thither shall ye bring
<0935> (8686)

all that I command
<06680> (8764)

you; your burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and your sacrifices
<02077>_,

your tithes
<04643>_,

and the heave offering
<08641>

of your hand
<03027>_,

and all your choice
<04005>

vows
<05088>

which ye vow
<05087> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

{your choice...: Heb. the choice of your vows}

12:12

And ye shall rejoice
<08055> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

ye, and your sons
<01121>_,

and your daughters
<01323>_,

and your menservants
<05650>_,

and your maidservants
<0519>_,

and the Levite
<03881>

that [is] within your gates
<08179>_;

forasmuch
<03588>

as he hath no part
<02506>

nor inheritance
<05159>

with you.

12:13

Take heed
<08104> (8734)

to thyself that thou offer
<05927> (8686)

not thy burnt offerings
<05930>

in every place
<04725>

that thou seest
<07200> (8799)_:

12:14

But in the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)

in one
<0259>

of thy tribes
<07626>_,

there thou shalt offer
<05927> (8686)

thy burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and there thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

all that I command
<06680> (8764)

thee.

12:15

Notwithstanding thou mayest kill
<02076> (8799)

and eat
<0398> (8804)

flesh
<01320>

in all thy gates
<08179>_,

whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

lusteth after
<0185>_,

according to the blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

which he hath given
<05414> (8804)

thee: the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>

may eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof, as of the roebuck
<06643>_,

and as of the hart
<0354>_.

12:16

Only ye shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

the blood
<01818>_;

ye shall pour
<08210> (8799)

it upon the earth
<0776>

as water
<04325>_.

12:17

Thou mayest
<03201> (8799)

not eat
<0398> (8800)

within thy gates
<08179>

the tithe
<04643>

of thy corn
<01715>_,

or of thy wine
<08492>_,

or of thy oil
<03323>_,

or the firstlings
<01062>

of thy herds
<01241>

or of thy flock
<06629>_,

nor any of thy vows
<05088>

which thou vowest
<05087> (8799)_,

nor thy freewill offerings
<05071>_,

or heave offering
<08641>

of thine hand
<03027>_:

12:18

But thou must eat
<0398> (8799)

them before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_,

thou, and thy son
<01121>_,

and thy daughter
<01323>_,

and thy manservant
<05650>_,

and thy maidservant
<0519>_,

and the Levite
<03881>

that [is] within thy gates
<08179>_:

and thou shalt rejoice
<08055> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in all that thou puttest
<04916>

thine hands
<03027>

unto.

12:19

Take heed
<08104> (8734)

to thyself that thou forsake
<05800> (8799)

not the Levite
<03881>

as long as thou livest
<03117>

upon the earth
<0127>_.

{as long...: Heb. all thy days}

12:20

When the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall enlarge
<07337> (8686)

thy border
<01366>_,

as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)

thee, and thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

I will eat
<0398> (8799)

flesh
<01320>_,

because thy soul
<05315>

longeth
<0183> (8762)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

flesh
<01320>_;

thou mayest eat
<0398> (8799)

flesh
<01320>_,

whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

lusteth after
<0185>_.

12:21

If the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath chosen
<0977> (8799)

to put
<07760> (8800)

his name
<08034>

there be too far
<07368> (8799)

from thee, then thou shalt kill
<02076> (8804)

of thy herd
<01241>

and of thy flock
<06629>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

thee, as I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee, and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8804)

in thy gates
<08179>

whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

lusteth after
<0185>_.

12:22

Even as the roebuck
<06643>

and the hart
<0354>

is eaten
<0398> (8735)_,

so thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

them: the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] them alike
<03162>_.

12:23

Only be sure
<02388> (8798)

that thou eat
<0398> (8800)

not the blood
<01818>_:

for the blood
<01818>

[is] the life
<05315>_;

and thou mayest not eat
<0398> (8799)

the life
<05315>

with the flesh
<01320>_.

{be...: Heb. be strong}

12:24

Thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

it; thou shalt pour
<08210> (8799)

it upon the earth
<0776>

as water
<04325>_.

12:25

Thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

it; that it may go well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and with thy children
<01121>

after
<0310>

thee, when thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:26

Only thy holy things
<06944>

which thou hast, and thy vows
<05088>_,

thou shalt take
<05375> (8799)_,

and go
<0935> (8804)

unto the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_:

12:27

And thou shalt offer
<06213> (8804)

thy burnt offerings
<05930>_,

the flesh
<01320>

and the blood
<01818>_,

upon the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

and the blood
<01818>

of thy sacrifices
<02077>

shall be poured out
<08210> (8735)

upon the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>_.

12:28

Observe
<08104> (8798)

and hear
<08085> (8804)

all these words
<01697>

which I command
<06680> (8764)

thee, that it may go well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and with thy children
<01121>

after
<0310>

thee for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

when thou doest
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] good
<02896>

and right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.
