Deuteronomy 12:6 - Announcement Of Particular Laws.

To the appointed place all their sacrificial gifts and offerings were to be brought, and there they were to keep their holy feasts. The gifts are classified in groups.

1. Burnt offerings and sacrifices, the two principal kinds of altar offerings, with which meal offerings and drink offerings were united ( Numbers 15:4 , etc.).

2. Tithes and heave offerings (cf. Le 27:30-33; Numbers 18:21-24 ). The heave offerings are described as of your hand , either because offered by the offerer's own hand, or to indicate such gifts as were made off-hand (so to speak), voluntary offerings made in addition to the legal offerings from an immediate impulse of grateful emotion.

3. Vows and freewill offerings , sacrifices which were offered in consequence of vows or of spontaneous impulse (cf. Le Deuteronomy 7:16 ; Deuteronomy 22:21 ; Deuteronomy 23:1-25 :38; Numbers 15:3 ; Numbers 29:39 ).

4. Firstlings of their herds and of their flocks (cf. Exodus 13:2 , Exodus 13:12 , etc.; Numbers 18:15 , etc.).
