And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land
which the LORD
thy God
giveth
thee for an inheritance
, and possessest
it, and dwellest
therein;
That thou shalt take of the first
of all the fruit
of the earth
, which thou shalt bring
of thy land
that the LORD
thy God
giveth
thee, and shalt put
it in a basket
, and shalt go
unto the place
which the LORD
thy God
shall choose
to place
his name
there.
And thou shalt go unto the priest
that shall be in those days
, and say
unto him, I profess
this day
unto the LORD
thy God
, that I am come
unto the country
which the LORD
sware
unto our fathers
for to give
us.
And the priest shall take
the basket
out of thine hand
, and set it down
before
the altar
of the LORD
thy God
.
And thou shalt speak and say
before
the LORD
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
:
And the Egyptians evil entreated
us, and afflicted
us, and laid
upon us hard
bondage
:
And when we cried unto the LORD
God
of our fathers
, the LORD
heard
our voice
, and looked
on our affliction
, and our labour
, and our oppression
:
And the LORD 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
:
And he hath brought us into this place
, and hath given
us this land
, even a land
that floweth
with milk
and honey
.
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits
of the land
, which thou, O LORD
, hast given
me. And thou shalt set
it before
the LORD
thy God
, and worship
before
the LORD
thy God
:
And thou shalt rejoice in every good
thing which the LORD
thy God
hath given
unto thee, and unto thine house
, thou, and the Levite
, and the stranger
that is among
you.
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
, the stranger
, the fatherless
, and the widow
, that they may eat
within thy gates
, and be filled
;
Then thou shalt say before
the LORD
thy God
, I have brought away
the hallowed things
out of mine house
, and also have given
them unto the Levite
, and unto the stranger
, to the fatherless
, and to the widow
, according to all thy commandments
which thou hast commanded
me: I have not transgressed
thy commandments
, neither have I forgotten
them :
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning
, neither have I taken away
ought thereof for any unclean
use , nor given
ought thereof for the dead
: but I have hearkened
to the voice
of the LORD
my God
, and have done
according to all that thou hast commanded
me.
Look down from thy holy
habitation
, from heaven
, and bless
thy people
Israel
, and the land
which thou hast given
us, as thou swarest
unto our fathers
, a land
that floweth
with milk
and honey
.
This day the LORD
thy God
hath commanded
thee to do
these statutes
and judgments
: thou shalt therefore keep
and do
them with all thine heart
, and with all thy soul
.
Thou hast avouched the LORD
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
:
And the LORD hath avouched
thee this day
to be his peculiar
people
, as he hath promised
thee, and that thou shouldest keep
all his commandments
;
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 the LORD
thy God
, as he hath spoken
.
