1
And it shall be when thou art come in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein,
2
that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to place his name there.
3
And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God. that I am come unto the land that Jehovah swore unto our fathers to give us.
4
And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
5
Thou shalt speak and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
6
and the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
7
and when we cried unto the Jehovah God of our fathers, Jehovah heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
8
and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
9
and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which thou, O Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God.
11
And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which Jehovah thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
12
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat in thy gates, and be filled;
13
then thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed nor forgotten any of thy commandments:
14
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I brought away thereof in uncleanness, nor given thereof for a dead person; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
15
Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us as thou didst swear unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey!
16
This day Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou shalt keep and do them with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
17
Thou has avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18
and Jehovah hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
19
and to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken.
