And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
And there you shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the special gifts you present, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your cattle and sheep.
God is telling the Israelites to bring all their worship offerings to the one place He will choose for them to worship Him.
📚 Historical Context
Moses was speaking to the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land, giving them instructions about centralized worship. Unlike the scattered worship sites they had known, God was establishing that there would be one designated place where all official worship and sacrifices should occur. This was part of God's plan to keep the Israelites from adopting the pagan worship practices of the surrounding nations.
