Deuteronomy 26:9 In-Context

7 So we cried out to ADONAI, the God of our ancestors. ADONAI heard us and saw our misery, toil and oppression;

8 and ADONAI brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders.

9 Now he has brought us to this place and given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Therefore, as you see, I have now brought the firstfruits of the land which you, ADONAI, have given me.' You are then to put the basket down before ADONAI your God, prostrate yourself before ADONAI your God,

11 and take joy in all the good that ADONAI your God has given you, your household, the Levi and the foreigner living with you.
