Whither

He chose instead the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which He loved.

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His home:

Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God.

Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.

Instead, you must turn to the place Yahweh your God chooses from all your tribes to put His name for His dwelling and go there.

“All your males are to appear three times a year before the Lord your God in the place He chooses: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Booths. No one is to appear before the Lord empty-handed.

The testimony

As the Lord commanded Moses, Aaron placed it before the testimony to be preserved.

Hang the veil under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there behind the veil, so the veil will make a separation for you between the holy place and the most holy place.

Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides—inscribed front and back.

To give

I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows

BOOK V
(Psalms 107–150)Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of Yahweh.

Open the gates of righteousness for me;
I will enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.

in the courts of the Lord’s house—
within you, Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

When the people enter, the prince will enter with them, and when they leave, he will leave.
