וְאֵין לִי אֶלָּא נְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת בְּכוֹרוֹת וּמַעַשְׂרוֹת חַטָּאוֹת וַאֲשָׁמוֹת? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **מִבְחַר נִדְרֵיכֶם** – **וְכֹל מִבְחַר נִדְרֵיכֶם**.

I might infer only the inclusion of
Vow-offerings and Voluntary-offerings.

“*The* choicest of your Vow-offerings”?
[No, it states:]
“*All* the choicest of your Vow-offerings” (Dt. 12:11)—
[*all* includes the other Most-Holy offerings as well]!

רַבִּי אוֹמֵר: אִם נֶאֶמְרוּ לְמַעְלָה לָמָּה נֶאֶמְרוּ לְמַטָּה? רִאשׁוֹנָה לְעִנְיַן שִׁילֹה, שְׁנִיָּה לְעִנְיַן יְרוּשָׁלִַם.

2. Rabbi says:
If the various offerings are enumerated above (Dt. 12:6),
why are they enumerated below (Dt. 12:11)?
The [offerings enumerated in] the first list
[were meant for] the shrine at Shiloh,
but the [offerings enumerated in] the second list
[were meant for] the shrine at Jerusalem.
