השמר לך פן תעלה עלתיך בכל מקום אשר תראה
הִשָּׁ֣מֶר לְךָ֔ פֶּֽן־תַּעֲלֶ֖ה עֹלֹתֶ֑יךָ בְּכָל־מָקֹ֖ום אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּרְאֶֽה ׃

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
This was directly opposed to the customs of the heathen idolaters, in offering their sacrifices on the tops of hills and mountains. Deuteronomy 12:6, Leviticus 17:2-5, 1 Kings 12:28-32, 1 Kings 15:34, 2 Chronicles 15:17
Reciprocal: Leviticus 1:3 - at the Leviticus 17:4 - bringeth Joshua 22:15 - General Joshua 22:29 - to build 2 Chronicles 11:16 - to sacrifice 2 Chronicles 32:12 - Ye shall worship Isaiah 36:7 - is it not
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take heed to thyself, that thou offer not thy burnt offerings,.... And so any other, this is put for all the rest:
in every place that thou seest; which might take with their fancy, seem pleasant, and so a proper and suitable place to sacrifice in, as on high places, and under green trees; but they were not to indulge their own fancies and imaginations, or follow the customs of others, but keep to the rules prescribed them by the Lord, and to the place fixed by him for his worship.
