WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.820 Chapter 12 These are the statutes and judgments which ye shall observe to do in 00:05.820 --> 00:10.560 the land which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days 00:10.560 --> 00:11.840 that ye live upon the earth. 00:12.620 --> 00:17.900 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall possess 00:17.900 --> 00:23.440 serve their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green 00:23.440 --> 00:23.780 tree. 00:24.460 --> 00:29.500 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their 00:29.500 --> 00:30.680 groves with fire. 00:31.080 --> 00:36.180 And ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them 00:36.180 --> 00:37.320 out of that place. 00:37.980 --> 00:43.640 Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God, but unto the place which the Lord your God 00:43.640 --> 00:47.020 shall choose out of all your tribes to put His name there. 00:47.860 --> 00:52.300 Even unto His habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. 00:53.020 --> 00:56.760 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, 00:57.120 --> 01:01.780 and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your 01:01.780 --> 01:06.520 freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds, and of your flocks. 01:07.080 --> 01:12.320 And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that 01:12.320 --> 01:17.320 ye put your hand unto, ye and your households wherein the Lord thy God hath 01:17.320 --> 01:17.880 blessed thee. 01:18.880 --> 01:22.380 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day. 01:23.080 --> 01:25.900 Every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. 01:26.780 --> 01:31.000 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your 01:31.000 --> 01:31.760 God giveth you. 01:32.560 --> 01:36.700 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth 01:36.700 --> 01:40.880 you to inherit, and when He giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, 01:41.220 --> 01:47.080 so that ye dwell in safety, then there shall be a place which the Lord your God 01:47.080 --> 01:50.100 shall choose to cause His name to dwell there. 01:50.640 --> 01:55.200 Thither shall ye bring all that I command you, your burnt offerings, and your 01:55.200 --> 02:00.020 sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice 02:00.020 --> 02:02.020 vows which ye vow unto the Lord. 02:02.520 --> 02:07.680 And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your 02:07.680 --> 02:12.500 daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that 02:12.500 --> 02:17.160 is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. 02:17.940 --> 02:22.880 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that 02:22.880 --> 02:27.740 thou seest, but in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes. 02:28.280 --> 02:32.560 There thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all 02:32.560 --> 02:33.520 that I command thee. 02:34.640 --> 02:39.820 Notwithstanding, thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy 02:39.820 --> 02:44.480 soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which He hath 02:44.480 --> 02:45.020 given thee. 02:45.520 --> 02:51.480 The unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the heart. 02:52.540 --> 02:57.400 Only ye shall not eat the blood, ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. 02:58.220 --> 03:02.900 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, 03:03.240 --> 03:09.080 or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds, or of thy flock, nor any of thy 03:09.080 --> 03:14.140 vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine 03:14.140 --> 03:14.540 hand. 03:15.520 --> 03:20.120 But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God 03:20.120 --> 03:25.080 shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, 03:25.260 --> 03:28.880 and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates. 03:29.520 --> 03:34.120 And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands 03:34.120 --> 03:34.400 unto. 03:35.220 --> 03:40.360 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the 03:40.360 --> 03:40.640 earth. 03:42.280 --> 03:46.520 When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border as he hath promised thee, 03:47.020 --> 03:51.780 and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, 03:52.360 --> 03:56.520 thou mayest eat flesh whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 03:57.880 --> 04:02.840 If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far 04:02.840 --> 04:08.280 from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock which the Lord hath 04:08.280 --> 04:13.260 given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever 04:13.260 --> 04:14.900 thy soul lusteth after. 04:15.600 --> 04:19.900 Even as the roebuck and the heart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them. 04:20.260 --> 04:23.160 The unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 04:24.040 --> 04:29.160 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is the life, and thou mayest 04:29.160 --> 04:30.860 not eat the life with the flesh. 04:31.680 --> 04:36.220 Thou shalt not eat it, thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 04:36.220 --> 04:41.400 Thou shalt not eat it, that it may go well with thee and with thy children after 04:41.400 --> 04:45.820 thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord. 04:46.580 --> 04:52.020 Only thy holy things which thou hast and thy vows thou shalt take and go unto the 04:52.020 --> 04:53.660 place which the Lord shall choose. 04:54.400 --> 04:59.280 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood upon the altar of 04:59.280 --> 05:03.760 the Lord thy God, and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the 05:03.760 --> 05:07.360 altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh. 05:08.800 --> 05:13.580 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with 05:13.580 --> 05:18.640 thee and with thy children after thee, for ever, when thou doest that which is 05:18.640 --> 05:21.520 good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God. 05:22.640 --> 05:27.220 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou 05:27.220 --> 05:32.260 goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land, 05:32.880 --> 05:38.020 take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they 05:38.020 --> 05:42.560 be destroyed from before thee, and that thou inquire not after their 05:42.560 --> 05:46.040 gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? 05:46.460 --> 05:48.640 Even so will I do likewise. 05:49.280 --> 05:53.940 Thou shalt not do so under the Lord thy God, for every abomination to the Lord 05:53.940 --> 05:56.900 which he hateth have they done unto their gods. 05:57.460 --> 06:01.940 For even their sons and their daughters, they have burnt in the fire to their gods. 06:02.960 --> 06:06.620 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it. 06:07.280 --> 06:10.860 Thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
