Halakhah sa Deuteronomio 12:9: Mishneh Torah, The Chosen Temple

כִּ֥י לֹא־בָּאתֶ֖ם עַד־עָ֑תָּה אֶל־הַמְּנוּחָה֙ וְאֶל־הַֽנַּחֲלָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃

Sapagkat hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa kayo nakararating sa kapahingahan at sa mana na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos.

Mishneh Torah, The Chosen Temple

It is a positive obligation to build a house for God where offerings may be brought and to make pilgrimage to it three times a year as it says "and they shall make Me a sanctuary." The tabernacle which Moses made in the desert has already been described in the Torah, but it was a temporary measure, as it says "for you have not yet reached, etc."
