land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess
it all the days that thou shalt walk upon the earth.

12:2. Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall
possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under
every shady tree:

12:3. Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their
groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names
out of those places.

12:4. You shall not do so to the Lord your God:

12:5. But you shall come to the place, which the Lord your God shall
choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, and to dwell in
it:

12:6. And you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the
tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the

12:7. And you shall eat there in the sight of the Lord your God: and you

shalt see:

12:14. But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes

12:15. But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight
