Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 12:8
"Ye shall not do after the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes; for ye are not yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 12:1-28
12:1-26:19 DETAILED REGULATIONSIn keeping with the pattern of ancient covenant documents, the basic requirements and principles of the covenant (Chapters 5-11) are now followed by the detailed regulations (Chapters 12-26). However, Moses does not lay down these requirements with the harshness or impersonality of a formal law code. He announces them rather in the pastoral spirit of a preacher, appealing to God’s covenant family to respond to God’s grace with lives of loyalty to him and justice... read more
