Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 12:11

Ver. 11. Thither shall ye bring all that I command— Maimonides observes, that one design of this institution was, to teach the Israelites not to have too high an opinion of sacrifices, since they were not of such account in the sight of God as to be accepted everywhere; but were limited to one place, and to be offered only by one family. Prayers and praises, which were the essentials of religion, might be offered up everywhere; but sacrifices, and other ceremonies of worship, being appointed,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 12:1-14

The central sanctuary 12:1-14When Israel entered the land the people were to destroy all the places and objects used in pagan worship by the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 12:2-4). Pagan peoples generally have felt that worshipping on elevated sites brings them into closer contact with their gods than is the case when they worship in low-lying places, unless those places had been the sites of supernatural events. The Canaanites typically visualized their gods as being above them. "’Places’... read more

The Friendship of Christ (a University Sermon) Deuteronomy 12:13 ; Revelation 3:20 Your college days are preeminently days when you open the doors of your hearts and let new friends in. In these years you are generous, and ready to hear a knock, and to respond to it. I. Never has the history of any human life been truly and fully related. I fancy that if such a thing could be, the record would be mainly of those who at different stages and periods have come into it. Many of them have come and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 12:1-32

LAWS OF SACRIFICEDeuteronomy 12:1-32.IT is a characteristic of all the earlier codes of law-the Book of the Covenant, the Deuteronomic Code, and the Law of Holiness-that at the head of the series of laws which they contain there should be a law of sacrifice. Probably, too, each of the three had, as first section of all, the Decalogue. The Book of the Covenant and Deuteronomy undeniably have it so, and the earlier element which forms the basis of Leviticus 17:1-16; Leviticus 18:1-30; Leviticus... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 12:1-32

ONE CENTER OF WORSHIP (vs.1-28) To prepare for proper worship in the land, Israel must utterly destroy those in which the nations before them served their idols. This was commonly done in high places, in mountains and hills and in lovely wooded areas (v.2-3), just as many people today tell us they need no gathering of saints to the name of the Lord Jesus in order to worship, but feel closer to God when they are outside enjoying the beauties of nature. But this kind of worship was to be... read more
