Deuteronomy 12:2-6

English Standard Version

^2 (A)You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, ^(B)on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. ³ You shall tear down their altars and dash in pieces ^(C)their pillars and burn their ^(D)Asherim with fire. You shall chop down the carved images of their gods and ^(E)destroy their name out of that place. ^4 (F)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way. ⁵ But you shall seek ^(G)the place that the Lord your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation^[a] there. There you shall go, ⁶ and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, ^(H)your tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the ^(I)firstborn of your herd and of your flock.
