Bible Question (short): Stumped and stupefied. Bewildered.... |
Question (full): Deut 12:13-14 “Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings at any place that you see, but at the place that the LORD will choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I am commanding you.” ESV Here (and in the surrounding verses) the Text, the command of God, tells the Israelites that they are to only offer sacrifices at “the place” where he chooses. Every single commentary that I consulted repeated the same idea. Israel could not offer sacrifices at any other place than the Tabernacle/Temple. None of them motioned any exceptions. Yet, we see Gideon, Samson’s parents, and Samuel just to name three (and several more) doing just that. They not only offer a sacrifice outside and away from the place, the sacrifice is obviously accepted. To what answer is there to this riddle? MJH |
