1
It shall be, when you are come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein,
2
that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
3
You shall come to the Kohen who shall be in those days, and tell him, I profess this day to the LORD your God, that I am come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.
4
The Kohen shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
5
You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, A Arammian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Mitzrayim, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
6
The Mitzrim dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
7
and we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;
8
and the LORD brought us forth out of Mitzrayim with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;
9
and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
