Deuteronomy 16:6
"You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you;"
Key Reflection
The Israelites were commanded to sacrifice the Passover lamb in a specific location—the designated gate of Jerusalem—rather than at any other place. This regulation underscored the centralization of worship and the importance of unity under God's chosen city, ensuring that all sacrifices were conducted in accordance with divine command rather than local traditions or personal preferences.
