Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

Verse 11 is found in chapter 12 of Deuteronomy. Israel must destroy the Canaanite worship sites and seek the place God will choose to establish his name. The chapter opposes the tendency to copy the nations’ religious practices and establishes the centralization of worship around the chosen sanctuary. Legitimate worship is therefore connected not to any place considered sacred by human initiative, but to the order established by God.

Wenn nun der HERR, dein Gott, einen Ort erwählt, daß sein Name daselbst wohne, sollt ihr dahin bringen alles, was ich euch gebiete: eure Brandopfer, eure andern Opfer, eure Zehnten, eurer Hände Hebe und eure freien Gelübde, die ihr dem HERRN geloben werdet.
Y al lugar que Jehová vuestro Dios escogiere para hacer habitar en él su nombre, allí llevaréis todas las cosas que yo os mando: vuestros holocaustos, y vuestros sacrificios, vuestros diezmos, y las ofrendas elevadas de vuestras manos, y todo lo escogido de vuestros votos que hubiereis prometido a Jehová;
Alors il y aura un lieu que l'Eternel, votre Dieu, choisira pour y faire résider son nom. C'est là que vous présenterez tout ce que je vous ordonne, vos holocaustes, vos sacrifices, vos dîmes, vos prémices, et les offrandes choisies que vous ferez à l'Eternel pour accomplir vos voeux.
allora adducete al luogo, il quale il Signore Iddio vostro avrà eletto, per istanziarvi il suo Nome, tutte le cose che io vi comando: i vostri olocausti, e i vostri sacrificii; le vostre decime, e l’offerte delle vostre mani, e tutta la scelta de’ vostri voti che avrete fatti al Signore.
Então haverá um lugar que escolherá o SENHOR vosso Deus para ali fazer habitar o seu nome; ali trareis tudo o que vos ordeno; os vossos holocaustos, e os vossos sacrifícios, e os vossos dízimos, e a oferta alçada da vossa mão, e toda a escolha dos vossos votos que fizerdes ao SENHOR.
那時你們要將我所吩咐你們的燔祭、祭物、十一奉獻、手中的舉祭,和向耶和華許願的一切上好的祭,都帶到耶和華─你們上帝所選擇立他名的居所。
