Chapter .xij.
These are the ordinances and laws which ye shall observe to do in
the land which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess
it, as long as ye live upon the earth. See that ye destroy all
places where the nations which ye conquer serve their gods, upon
high mountains and on high {an hye} hills and under every green
tree. Overthrow their altars and break their pillars and burn
their groves with fire and hew down the images of their gods, and
bring the names of them to nought out of that place. See ye do not
so unto the LORD your God but ye shall enquire the place which the
LORD your God shall have chosen out of all your tribes to put his
name there and there to dwell. And thither thou shalt come, and
thither ye shall bring your burnt sacrifices and your offerings,
your tithes and heave offerings of your hands, your vows and free
will offerings and thy first born of your oxen and of your sheep.
And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall
rejoice in all that ye lay your hands on, both ye and your
households, because the LORD thy God hath blessed thee. Ye shall
do after nothing that we do here this day, every man what seemeth
him good in his own eyes.
