Deuteronomy 12:11

9 for as yet you have not come to the ^arest and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you.

10 But when you cross over the Jordan and dwell in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to inherit, and He gives you ^arest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety,

11 then there will be the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. There you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow to the Lord.

12 And ^ayou shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your male and female servants, and the ^bLevite who is within your gates, since he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

13 Take heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;

14 but in the place which the Lord chooses, in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

15 “However, ^ayou may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you; ^bthe unclean and the clean may eat of it, ^cof the gazelle and the deer alike.
