Deuteronomy 12:9

⁹neque enim usque in praesens tempus venistis ad requiem et possessionem, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis.

Deuteronomy 12 marks a pivotal shift in the covenant instructions, moving from general principles to specific laws for life in the Promised Land. Moses commands Israel to utterly destroy all pagan places of worship and to centralize their own worship at a single, divinely chosen location. This chapter emphasizes the importance of pure worship, free from idolatry and syncretism, and establishes the framework for how offerings, tithes, and sacrifices are to be brought before the Lord once they settle in Canaan. It sets the stage for a distinct national identity rooted in exclusive devotion to God.
