Commentary on Deuteronomy 12:11

Theological / Devotional

Shall ye bring. The Lord commanded sacrifices and offerings to be brought to Him, not because of any inherent virtue in the gifts themselves, but as object lessons by which the people might learn the way of salvation. Without sincerity of heart on the part of the believer, his offering was not acceptable to God (1 Samuel 15:22; Isaiah 1:11; Jeremiah 7:22-24).

All your choice vows. Literally, “all the choice of your vows” — all their offerings in payment of vows. The sacrificial animals they selected were to be physically perfect, with no defect whatever.
