  • Deut 26:1-9 : 1 When you come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle in it, 2 you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from your land that the LORD your God is giving you, and put it in a basket. Then you shall go to the place that the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His name, 3 and you shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, 'I declare today to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD swore to our ancestors to give us.' 4 Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God. 5 And you shall declare before the LORD your God, 'My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt, where he lived as a foreigner with only a few people. But there he became a great nation, powerful and numerous.' 6 But the Egyptians mistreated us, oppressed us, and subjected us to harsh labor. 7 Then we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors, and the LORD heard our voice. He saw our suffering, our toil, and our oppression. 8 So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders. 9 He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 And now, behold, I bring the firstfruits of the soil that You, LORD, have given me.' You shall set it down before the LORD your God and bow down before Him. 11 Then you shall rejoice in all the good things the LORD your God has given you and your household—you, the Levite, and the foreigner residing among you. 12 When you have finished tithing all the produce of your third-year harvest, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow so that they may eat within your towns and be satisfied. 13 Then you shall say before the LORD your God, 'I have removed the sacred portion from my house and also have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all your commands. I have not violated or forgotten any of your commandments.' 14 I have not eaten any of it while in mourning, I have not removed any of it while unclean, nor have I offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the LORD my God and have done everything you commanded me. 15 Look down from your holy dwelling place in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as you swore to our ancestors.
