“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving
you for an inheritance and have taken possession of it and live in it,
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 you
shall put it in a basket, and you shall go to the place that the Lord
your God will choose, to make his name to dwell there.
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 fathers to give us.’ Then the priest shall take the basket
from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.
“And you shall make response before the Lord your God, ‘A
wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and
sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great,
mighty, and populous. And the Egyptians treated us harshly and
humiliated us and laid on us hard labour. Then we cried to the Lord, the
God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our
affliction, our toil, and our oppression. And the Lord brought us out of
Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of
terror, with signs and wonders. And he brought us into this place and
gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. And behold, now I
bring the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, O Lord, have
given me.’ And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and
worship before the Lord your God. And you shall rejoice in all the good
that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the
Levite, and the sojourner who is among you.”
