Deuteronomy 12:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 since you have not yet reached your resting place, the heritage which the Lord, your God, is giving you. 10 But after you have crossed the Jordan and dwell in the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you as a heritage, when he has given you rest from all your enemies round about and you live there in security,(A) 11 [a](B)then to the place which the Lord, your God, chooses as the dwelling place for his name you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and personal contributions, and every special offering you have vowed to the Lord.

9 since you have not yet reached the resting place(A) and the inheritance(B) the Lord your God is giving you. 10 But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the Lord your God is giving(C) you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest(D) from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety. 11 Then to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name(E)—there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the Lord.(F)
