Deuteronômio 12

Morris - Blood offerings and even drinking of blood were common among the pagan religions. God considered the blood sacred as anticipating the blood of Christ, and as containing the "life" of the flesh, which would be shed for the eternal life of all who would partake spiritually of its regenerating power (Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:11; John 6:53-56). (Defender's Study Bible)

Deuteronômio 12

Morris - Compare to Leviticus 17:13, which says that the blood should also be covered with dust. At times some of the blood was to be sprinkled on the altar before being poured upon the ground (Leviticus 3:2). (Defender's Study Bible) Deuteronomy 12:25 "You shall not eat it, so that it may be well with you and your sons after you, for you will be doing what is right in the sight of the LORD. that it: De 12:28 4:40 5:16 Ps 112:2 Isa 3:10 48:18,19 Eze 33:25 when: De 6:18 13:18 Ex 15:26 1Ki 11:38 Ec 2:26 Deuteronomy 12 Resources You shall not eat it, so that it may be well with you and your sons after you, for you will be doing what is right in the sight of the LORD. Deuteronomy 12:26 "Only your holy things which you may have and your votive offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the LORD chooses. holy: De 12:6,11,18 Nu 5:9,10 18:19 thy vows: Ge 28:20 Lev 22:18-33 1Sa 1:21-24 Ps 66:13-15 Deuteronomy 12 Resources Only your holy things which you may have and your votive offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the LORD chooses (see bahar/bachar) - Holy things refers to those things mentioned in Dt 12:17. Deuteronomy 12:27 "And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God, and you shall eat the flesh. thy burnt: Lev 1:5,9,13 17:11 and the blood: Lev 4:30 17:11 Deuteronomy 12 Resources And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God, and you shall eat the flesh. NET Note - These other sacrifices would be so-called peace or fellowship offerings whose ritual required a different use of the blood from that of burnt (sin and trespass) offerings (cf. Lev 3; 7:11–14, 19–21). Deuteronomy 12:28 "Be careful to listen to all these words which I command you, so that it may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God. Ex 34:11 Lev 19:37 2Ch 7:17 Ne 1:5 Ps 105:45 Eze 37:24 Joh 15:3,10,14 Observe: De 24:8 that it may: De 12:25 Deuteronomy 12 Resources Related Passages: Deuteronomy 4:40 “So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well (yatab/yatav) with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time.” Deuteronomy 5:29 ‘Oh that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well (yatab/yatav) with them and with their sons forever! Deuteronomy 6:3 “O Israel, you should listen and be careful to do it, that it may be well (yatab/yatav) with you and that you may multiply greatly, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. Deuteronomy 6:18 “You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that it may be well (yatab/yatav) with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to give your fathers, Be careful (shamar; Lxx - phulasso in present imperative) to listen to all these words which I command you, so that it may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God - This charge is a call to obedience which is the way of blessing. (cf repeated emphasis in Dt 4:9, 15, 23; 6:12; 8:11; 11:16; 12:13, 19, 28, 30; 15:9; 24:8) Well (do good, be merry, prosper) (03190) yatab/yatav means to be good, to be well, to be pleasing. To be made well, happy, cheerful, joyful. Yatab refers to the blessed, happy, wholesome life of YHWH’s people. Again, covenant obedience is linked to blessing and longevity in the land. This total obedience is admonished to successive generations i.e., forever. Using the same language of Ru 3:1 (security … be well [well = yatab]) Boaz is described as having a sense of well being which is most readily explained by the full harvest in contrast to previous years of famine (cf. Jdg 18:20-note). Yatab is often used in idiomatic expressions with heart (as in current verse) where it means to be pleased or to be happy. It is often used in idiomatic expressions with heart (lēb̠), meaning to be pleased or to be happy (Jdg. 18:20; 19:6, 9; Ruth 3:7); and with eyes, to be pleasing to someone else (i.e., pleasing or good in their eyes Ge. 34:18; 1 Sa 18:5). Yatab/yatav is found first in the story of Cain and Abel, where it is used twice in one verse: "If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door" (Ge 4:7) Yatab in Deuteronomy - Deut. 1:23; Deut. 4:40; Deut. 5:16; Deut. 5:28; Deut. 5:29; Deut. 6:3; Deut. 6:18; Deut. 8:16; Deut. 9:21; Deut. 12:25; Deut. 12:28; Deut. 13:14; Deut. 17:4; Deut. 18:17; Deut. 19:18; Deut. 22:7; Deut. 27:8; Deut. 28:63; Deut. 30:5; Jos. 22:30; Deuteronomy 12:28 Obedience Brings Blessing - Faith's Checkbook - C H Spurgeon “Observe and hear all these words which l command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.” —Deuteronomy 12:28 THOUGH salvation is not by the works of the law, yet the blessings which are promised to obedience are not denied to the faithful servants of God. The curses our Lord took away when He was made a curse for us, but no clause of blessing has been abrogated. We are to note and listen to the revealed will of the Lord, giving our attention not to portions of it, but to “all these words.” There must be no picking and choosing, but an impartial respect to all that God has commanded. This is the road of blessedness for the father and for his children. The Lord’s blessing is upon His chosen to the third and fourth generation. If they walk uprightly before Him, He will make all men know that they are a seed which the Lord has blessed. No blessing can come to us or ours through dishonesty or double dealing. The ways of worldly conformity and unholiness cannot bring good to us or ours. It will go well with us when we go well before God. If integrity does not make us prosper, knavery will not. That which gives pleasure to God will bring pleasure to us. Deuteronomy 12:29 "When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, cut off: De 9:3 19:1 Ex 23:23 Jos 23:4 Ps 78:55 Deuteronomy 12 Resources When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess (yarash), and you dispossess (yarash) them and dwell in their land - Note again not IF but WHEN, so certain is it that Yahweh will cut off the pagan nations and Israel will dwell in their land. Utley on cuts off - The VERB means YHWH eliminated people by killing them (cf. 19:1; Josh. 23:4; 2 Sam. 7:9; Jer. 44:8). This indicates that YHWH is fighting Israel’s battles. Cuts off (destroy) (03772) karath literally means to cut, to cut off or to sever an object from its source or cut into parts and implies a violent action. For example, Zipporah "cut off her son’s foreskin." (Ex 4:25) Karath in Deuteronomy - The first 3 uses refer to cutting a covenant - Deut. 4:23; Deut. 5:2; Deut. 5:3; Deut. 7:2; Deut. 9:9; Deut. 12:29; Deut. 19:1; Deut. 19:5; Deut. 20:19; Deut. 20:20; Deut. 23:1; Deut. 29:1; Deut. 29:12; Deut. 29:14; Deut. 29:25; Deut. 31:16; Deuteronomy 12:30 beware that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?' that : De 7:16 Ex 23:31-33 Lev 18:3 Nu 33:52 Jdg 2:2,3 2Ki 17:15 Ps 106:34-38 Eze 20:28 How did: Jer 10:2 Eze 20:32 Ro 12:2 Eph 4:17 1Pe 4:3,4 Deuteronomy 12 Resources WARNING AGAINST ENSNAREMENT Beware (shamar; Lxx - prosecho - present imperative) that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?' - This warning reminds me of the old saying "Curiosity killed the cat!" As subsequent history would prove curiosity did kill (destroy) Israel! Inquisitiveness can be dangerous, especially when it extends to things one does not need to know about. This warning recalls Paul's warning in Romans For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil. (Ro 16:19+, cf Eph 5:3-11, 12+) In Israel's curiosity there is almost a sense of making a provision for the flesh as Paul warns (commands) against in Ro 13:14+ But put on (aorist imperative see our need to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey) the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no (present imperative with a negative see our need to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey) provision (see pronoia) for the flesh in regard to its lusts. Comment: We see an illustration of obedience to this command (which somewhat parallels destruction of all vestiges of idolatry) in Acts 19:19+ (magic books burned!)
