*
It shall be ,
when you have come in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance ,
and possess it ,
and dwell therein ,
*
that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground ,
which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you ;
and you shall put it in a basket ,
and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose ,
to cause his name to dwell there .
*
You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days ,
and tell him , "
I profess this day to Yahweh your God ,
that I am come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers to give us ."
*
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand ,
and set it down before the altar of Yahweh your God .
*
You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God , "
A Syrian ready to perish was my father ;
and he went down into Egypt ,
and lived there ,
few in number ;
and he became there a nation ,
great ,
mighty ,
and populous .
*
The Egyptians dealt ill with us ,
and afflicted us ,
and laid on us hard bondage :
*
and we cried to Yahweh ,
the God of our fathers ,
and Yahweh heard our voice ,
and saw our affliction ,
and our toil ,
and our oppression ;
*
and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand ,
and with an outstretched arm ,
and with great terror ,
and with signs ,
and with wonders ;
*
and he has brought us into this place ,
and has given us this land ,
a land flowing with milk and honey .
*
Now ,
behold ,
I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground ,
which you ,
Yahweh ,
have given me ."
You shall set it down before Yahweh your God ,
and worship before Yahweh your God .
*
You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to you ,
and to your house ,
you ,
and the Levite ,
and the foreigner who is in the midst of you .
