HOLY THINGS TO BE EATEN IN THE HOLY PLACE. (Deu 12:26-32)

Only thy holy things which thou hast--The tithes mentioned (Deu 12:17) are not to be considered ordinary tithes, which belonged to the Levites, and of which private Israelites had a right to eat; but they are other extraordinary tithes or gifts, which the people carried to the sanctuary to be presented as peace offerings, and on which, after being offered and the allotted portion given to the priest, they feasted with their families and friends (Lev 27:30).

30 And all the tithe [04643] of the land [0776], whether of the seed [02233] of the land [0776], or of the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086], is the LORD'S [03068]: it is holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].
17 Thou mayest [03201] not eat [0398] within thy gates [08179] the tithe [04643] of thy corn [01715], or of thy wine [08492], or of thy oil [03323], or the firstlings [01062] of thy herds [01241] or of thy flock [06629], nor any of thy vows [05088] which thou vowest [05087], nor thy freewill offerings [05071], or heave offering [08641] of thine hand [03027]:
26 Only thy holy things [06944] which thou hast, and thy vows [05088], thou shalt take [05375], and go [0935] unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977]:
27 And thou shalt offer [06213] thy burnt offerings [05930], the flesh [01320] and the blood [01818], upon the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: and the blood [01818] of thy sacrifices [02077] shall be poured out [08210] upon the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and thou shalt eat [0398] the flesh [01320].
28 Observe [08104] and hear [08085] all these words [01697] which I command [06680] thee, that it may go well [03190] with thee, and with thy children [01121] after [0310] thee for [05704] ever [05769], when thou doest [06213] that which is good [02896] and right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430].
29 When the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall cut off [03772] the nations [01471] from before [06440] thee, whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] them, and thou succeedest [03423] them, and dwellest [03427] in their land [0776];

31 Thou shalt not do [06213] so unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for every abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068], which he hateth [08130], have they done [06213] unto their gods [0430]; for even their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] they have burnt [08313] in the fire [0784] to their gods [0430].
32 What thing [01697] soever I command [06680] you, observe [08104] to do [06213] it: thou shalt not add [03254] thereto, nor diminish [01639] from it.
