* 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 m @#at #, 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 p @riy # 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 ma #aser #, and hast given it unto the Levite , the stranger , the fatherless , and the widow , that they may eat within thy gates sha #ar #, 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 ma #own #, from heaven , and bless thy people Israel Yisra #el #, 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 tiph #arah #; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God , as he hath spoken .
