Deuteronomy 12:11 In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the first-fruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts, which you shall vow to the Lord.

Therein. While you are performing your duty to God, you need not fear the incursions of your enemies; or, according to the Hebrew, Septuagint, and Chaldean, "There shall be a place which....Thither," etc. (Menochius) --- Hands. Aquila, etc., have, "your voluntary oblations." --- Gifts. Hebrew, "your choice-vows." (Calmet)
