Deuteronomy 26
- 1And it shall be, when you have come in to the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and live in it.
- 2That you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which you shall bring of your land that the Lord your God gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to place his name there.
- 3And you shall go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the Lord your God, that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.
- 4And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.
- 5And you shall speak and say before the Lord your God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and stayed there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
- 6And the Egyptians mistreated us, and made us suffer, and laid on us hard bondage:
- 7And when we cried to the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our suffering, and our labor, and our oppression:
- 8And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great awe, and with signs, and with wonders:
- 9And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.
- 10And now, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which you, O Lord, have given me. And you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God:
- 11And you shall rejoice in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner that is among you.
- 12When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.
- 13Then you shall say before the Lord your God, I have brought away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all your commandments which you have commanded me: I have not broken your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
- 14I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I taken away any of it for any unclean use, or given any of it for the dead: but I have listened to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done according to all that you have commanded me.
- 15Look down from your holy home, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.
- 16This day the Lord your God has commanded you to do these laws and judgments: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.
- 17You have declared the Lord this day to be your God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his laws, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to listen to his voice:
- 18And the Lord has declared you this day to be a people of his own, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.
- 19And to make you high above all nations which he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor. That you may be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has spoken.
