Deuteronomy 12

Moses commands the Israelites to destroy all Canaanite places of worship and worship YHWH exclusively at the one place He chooses, where they must bring burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, and vowed offerings.[3] The Israelites are permitted to slaughter and eat meat anywhere within their gates, but sacrificial animals and tithes must be consumed only at YHWH's appointed sanctuary in a communal celebration.[3]
