• If reason, or self-will were permitted to speak, it might say, “Why must we all go to this one place? Can we not have an altar at home? Or, at least, an altar in each principal town, or in the center of each tribe?” The conclusive answer is, “God has commanded otherwise; this is enough for every true Israelite. Even though we may not be able, by reason of our ignorance, to see the why or the wherefore, simple obedience is our obvious and bounden duty. (“Deuteronomy 12” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• No doubt, if the heart were cold and careless toward God, it would matter little about the place of worship; all places would be alike. But we may set it down as a fixed principle that every loyal loving heart from Dan to Beersheba would rejoice to flock to the place where Jehovah had recorded His Name, and where He had appointed to meet His people. “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem [God’s center for Israel]....” (Psa. 122). (“Deuteronomy 12” by C.H. Mackintosh)
