כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אִם־שְׁלֵמִים֙ וְכֵ֣ן רַבִּ֔ים וְכֵ֥ן נָגֹ֖זּוּ וְעָבָ֑ר וְעִ֨נִּתִ֔ךְ לֹ֥א אֲעַנֵּ֖ךְ עֽוֹד׃
אַזױ האָט גאָט געזאָגט: װי געזונט און אַזױ פֿיל װי זײ זײַנען, אַזױ װעלן זײ פֿאַרשניטן װערן און פֿאַרגײן; הגם איך האָב דיך געפּײַניקט, װעל איך מער דיך ניט פּײַניקן.
Kli Yakar
Therefore I say the opposite, and with this everything will be resolved. For what was said, But only to the place that the Lord will choose from all your tribes to place His name there refers to the eternal Temple that was collected from all the tribes. And even though that place was already chosen from the days of the Patriarchs, nevertheless it says will choose in future tense because ultimately He will choose to collect money from all your tribes. Therefore, it does not say “will choose it from all your tribes” because “it” refers to the place, and the place was already chosen. And what it says which He will choose means that He will choose to collect from all your tribes to place His name there permanently. You shall seek out His dwelling means you should inquire from the elders and the wise, and they will tell you that this place was chosen for holiness from ancient times. And you shall come there is in singular form because this verse is a warning to the many and a warning to the individual not to offer sacrifices on a private altar. Not only many people, who might be suspected of wanting to separate from the congregation of Israel, but even an individual who is not suspect of this, nevertheless should not offer on a private altar. And you shall bring there, etc. — the reason it does not say “the choicest of your vows” to teach that one should bring from the best, is because this is [understood] a fortiori [all the more so] from Shiloh. Furthermore, even a minimal bringing causes a person greater success in this holy place. And it says And you shall eat there before the Lord because even physical eating is before the Lord there, and all the more so happiness, which is in the soul. And it says you and your households because it is assumed that in Jerusalem, many people, both the masses and the distinguished, bought houses (Nahum 1:12), notable houses, and with this he included all the members of his household.

it passes Heb. גז, an expression of passing, as (Nahum 1:12): “they have crossed (נגוזו)”; (Num. 11: 31), “and drove (ויגז) quails up from the sea.”
Rashi
ויגז means “and he caused to fly”; similar is, (Psalms 90:10) “for it flies away (גז)”; so, also, (Nahum 1:12) “they shall fly off (נגוזו) and it shall pass away”.
