Sir Dino I thought you are reading the verse. The answer in your question is already in verse 23.
Nobody in this world could know where the Temple is. Because there is no certain physical location that you can google map it.
God only knows where it should be.
DEUTORONOMY 14:23
23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

Sir even I tell you and you will not humble yourself, you will never understand it.
According to our Lord Jesus, if you need wisdom from God, you must have the Faith.
JAMES 1:5-8
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
The Faith is coming from God.
EPHESIANS 2:8
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
We only receive a Faith (Gift) from God when we humble ourselves.
How to humble ourselves?
If we believe that the Holy Bible where the Words of God written is sealed means they are all Parables.
REVELATIONS 5:1-5
5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Because Our Lord Jesus Christ could open it alone or explain the meaning alone..
MARK 4:34
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Because God the Father is speaking in Parables Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:49.
Therefore God is referring to Spiritual meaning of Corn, Wine, Oil, Firstlings Herds & Flocks.
Every Chosen of God have them all and they eat them in the place where God point it out.

Our Lord Jesus taught to Paul. The Literal meaning leads to perish of soul.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:6
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

He cannot explain what he doesn’t understand. 
The Lord Jesus Christ never explain for the people who don't want to humble themselves.
JOHN 6:56,60 & 66
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Because God The Father is Speaking in Parables (Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:49), then let us ask him what is the meaning of Corn, Wine, Oil and the Others.
By humbling ourself God will reveal the meaning of them and how to follow the law completely.

The words that I share are not from me. They are God's words (Lord of Truth: Psalms 31:5 & John 14:6)
If you don't want to humble to the Words or to the Truth it is your self decision and no one could change that.
Remember, this Chat Room is Sharing what the Truth is.
As the Lord Jesus said;
MATTHEW 10:8
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

MATTHEW 7:1-5
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Again you misinterpret Scripture. I have a completely clear conscience with regard to calling your view "misinterpretation" and "not truth". God doesn't intend us to listen to uneducated drivel from people who don't understand His truth but instead misrepresent it and Him. He tells us to "make a right judgment". Further, I am not judging your eternal destiny, just what you claim on this forum.

Sir Dino, you told me I misinterpret the Scripture why don't you share your interpretation as your basis of truth rather than just plainly contradicting the sharing?
How do you convince me that what I understand is not Truth if you don't share your basis of truth?
If you don't share what you understand, for sure you always contradicting and contradicting and contradicting.
What your image to me right now is you are pitiful and funny, because you are just judging the sharing is not the truth and yet you don't want to share what do you believe as the truth.
