And if ^(A)you too rebel against the Lord today then tomorrow ^(B)he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel. ¹⁹ But now, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over into the Lord's land ^(C)where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take for yourselves a possession among us. ^(D)Only do not rebel against the Lord or make us as rebels by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God.

⁹ Only ^(A)do not rebel against the Lord. And ^(B)do not fear the people of the land, for ^(C)they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”

⁸ “And you shall say to them, Any one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who ^(A)offers a burnt offering or sacrifice ⁹ and ^(B)does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it to the Lord, ^(C)that man shall be cut off from his people.

^13 (A)Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings at any place that you see, ¹⁴ but at ^(B)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.
