1 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; 2 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. 3 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. 4 And the priest shall take the bas­ket out of thine hand, and set it down be­fore the al­tar of the LORD thy God. 5 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: 6 And the Egyp­tians evil en­treat­ed us, and af­flict­ed us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 7 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: 8 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: 9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath giv­en us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and hon­ey. 10 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: 11 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. 12 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; 13 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: 14 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. 15 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. 16 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. 17 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: 18 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; 19 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.
