Deuteronomy 12:2-7
New King James Version
2 (A)You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you shall dispossess served their gods, (B)on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3 And (C)you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their [a]wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. 4 You shall not (D)worship the Lord your God with such things.
5 “But you shall seek the (E)place where the Lord your God chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His name for His (F)dwelling[b] place; and there you shall go. 6 (G)There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the (H)firstborn of your herds and flocks. 7 And (I)there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and (J)you shall rejoice in [c]all to which you have put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.
