And there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the offering of your hands, and your vows and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.

And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all to which you put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.

You [a]shall not do according to all we do here [in the camp] this day, every man doing whatever looks right in his own eyes.

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 12:8 “It has been too often overlooked that the Law of Moses had a prophetic side. It was given to him and to Israel when they were not in a position to keep it [fully]. It was the law of the land which God would give them. In many ways its observance depended on the completion of the conquest of the land and upon the quietness of the times in which they lived. This prophetic aspect was certainly not unrecognized by the Jews, or they would not (for example) have neglected to dwell in booths at the Feast of Tabernacles from the time of Joshua to Nehemiah (Neh. 8:17)” (Charles J. Ellicott, A Bible Commentary).

there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes(A) and special gifts, what you have vowed(B) to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.(C) There, in the presence(D) of the Lord your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice(E) in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you.

You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit,(F)

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
