26. Take the holy things and the offerings you have vowed to bring, and go to the place the Lord will choose.
27. Sacrifice the meat and the blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord your God. The blood of your sacrifices is to be poured out beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat the meat.
28. Be sure you obey all these instructions I’m giving you. Then things will always go well for you and your descendants because you will be doing what the Lord your God considers good and right.
29. The Lord your God will destroy the nations where you’re going and force them out of your way. You will take possession of their land and live there.
30. After they’ve been destroyed, be careful you aren’t tempted to follow their customs. Don’t even ask about their gods and say, “How did these people worship their gods? We want to do what they did.”
31. Never worship the Lord your God in the way they worship their gods, because everything they do for their gods is disgusting to the Lord. He hates it! They even burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices to their gods.
32. Be sure to do everything I command you. Never add anything to it or take anything away from it.
