Tetapi tempat yang akan dipilih TUHAN, Allahmu, dari segala sukumu sebagai kediaman-Nya untuk menegakkan nama-Nya di sana, tempat itulah harus kamu cari dan ke sanalah harus kamu pergi.
melainkan hendaklah kamu bertanya-tanya akan tempat yang akan dipilih oleh Tuhan, Allahmu, dari pada segala suku bangsamu akan menetapkan namanya di sana dan akan tempat kedudukannya, maka hendaklah kamu pergi ke sana.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But unto the place which the Lord your God,.... The Targum of Jonathan is, that the Word of the Lord your God:
shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there; to place his tabernacle, set up his worship, take up his residence, and cause the Shechinah, or his divine Majesty, to dwell there, as the next clause explains it; out of what tribe it should be chosen, and where it should be, is not said. Maimomides b gives three reasons for it; he says there are three great mysteries why the place is not clearly, but obscurely mentioned;
1) lest the Gentiles should seize upon it, and make war for the sake of it, supposing this place to be the end of the law; 2) lest they in whose hands the place then was should by all means waste and destroy it; 3) which is the chief, lest every tribe should desire to have it in its own lot and jurisdiction; and so strifes might arise among them on account of it, as happened to the priesthood:
[even] unto his habitation shall ye seek; the temple at Jerusalem is meant, where the Lord took up his dwelling, and whither men were to come and seek unto him by prayer and supplication for whatsoever they needed, and to inquire of him in matters doubtful, and they wanted counsel in:
and thither thou shall come: with sacrifices of every sort, where they were to be slain and offered to the Lord, and become acceptable to him, as is more largely declared in the following part of this chapter.
b Moreh Nevochim, par. 3. c. 45. p. 475.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
âTo put his name thereâ means to manifest to men His divine presence. The Targumists rightly refer to the Shechinah; but the expression comprehends all the various modes in which God vouchsafed to reveal Himself and His attributes to men.
The purpose of the command of the text is to secure the unity, and through unity the purity of the worship of God. That there should be one national center for the religion of the people was obviously essential to the great ends of the whole dispensation. Corruption began as soon as the precepts of the text were relaxed or neglected: Compare the case of Gideon, Judges 8:27; of Micah, Judges 18:0; of Jeroboam, 1 Kings 12:26 ff.
The words âthe place which the Lord shall choose to put His Name thereâ suggest Jerusalem and Solomonâs temple to our minds. But though spoken as they were by a prophet, and interpreted as they are by the Psalms (e. g. Psalms 78:67-69), they have a proper application to the temple, yet they must not be referred exclusively to it. The text does not import that God would always from the first choose one and the same locality âto put His Name there,â but that there would always be a locality so chosen by Him; and that there the people must bring their sacrifices, and not offer them at their pleasure or convenience elsewhere. Neither does the text forbid the offering of sacrifices to God at other places than the one chosen by Him âto put His Name thereâ on proper occasions and by proper authority (compare Deuteronomy 27:5-6; Judges 6:24; Judges 13:16; 1 Kings 3:4; 1 Kings 18:31). The text simply prohibits sacrifices at any other locality than that which should be appointed or permitted by God for the purpose.
