Whither

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved;

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.

Thrice in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel.

but unto the place which Jehovah your God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;

Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty:

The testimony

As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so Aaron deposited it before the Testimony, to be kept.

And thou shalt bring the veil under the clasps, and bring in thither, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and the curtain shall make a division to you between the holy place and the holiest of all.

And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand tables written on both their sides: on this side and on that were they written.

To give

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

General references
