Deuteronomy 16:5
Ver. 5. Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates,.... Or cities, as the Targum of Jonathan, so called because they usually had gates to them, in which public affairs were transacted; but in none of these, only in the city of Jerusalem, the place the Lord chose, might they kill the passover and eat it, and other passover offerings:
which the Lord thy God giveth thee; in the land of Canaan, and which land was given them of God.
