Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 12:5-32

5-32 The command to bring ALL the sacrifices to the door of the tabernacle, was now explained with reference to the promised land. As to moral service, then, as now, men might pray and worship every where, as they did in their synagogues. The place which God would choose, is said to be the place where he would put his name. It was to be his habitation, where, as King of Israel, he would be found by all who reverently sought him. Now, under the gospel, we have no temple or altar that sanctifies... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 12:1-32

Having thus repeated the great words of the Law and called the people to obedience, Moses now proceeded to deal with the statutes and judgments, and, first, the statutes. In dealing with these he commenced with the true place of worship. He solemnly charged them what their attitude toward false places of worship must be when they entered the land. They were to be utterly destroyed without pity and without sparing. Moses then put into striking contrast their attitude toward the true place of... read more

When They Dwell In The Land Of Their Inheritance They Must Worship At the Place Which Yahweh Their God Chooses (Deuteronomy 12:10-12 ). Deuteronomy 12:10-11 ‘ But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety, then it shall come about that to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, to there shall you bring all that I... read more

Restrictions on Offering Whole Burnt Offerings (Deuteronomy 12:13-14 ). At this point the narrative changes to ‘thou, thee’. What is required is required of the nation as a whole and of each individual. Deuteronomy 12:13-14 ‘ Take heed to yourself (thyself) that you do not offer your whole burnt offerings in every place that you see, but in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your whole burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command... read more

Deuteronomy 12:1-Hosea : . The Law of One Sanctuary.— The local sanctuaries (originally Canaanite) with everything belonging to them, are to be destroyed, and all sacrifices are to be offered at the place which Yahweh should choose. Yet ( Deuteronomy 12:15 f.) animals intended for food alone may be killed and eaten locally. Though the name Jerusalem does not occur in D, it is fairly evident that no other place can be intended by “ the place which Yahweh . . . shall choose,” etc., though A.... read more

Hence it appears, that though the males only were obliged to appear before God in their solemn feasts, Exodus 23:17, yet the women also were permitted to come, as they did. See Judges 21:19,Judges 21:21; 1 Samuel 1:3,1 Samuel 1:7,1 Samuel 1:21-23. read more

Nor the other things mentioned above, this one and most eminent kind being put for all the rest, as is usual; for being all expressed before, it was needless to repeat them again. In every place that thou seest, to wit, with complacency and approbation, which thou thinkest very fit and proper for such a work, as one might possibly judge of some high places, or groves, or gardens. read more
