1
And it shall be, when thou hast come in to 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 to the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
3
And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD thy God, that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.
4
And the priest shall take the basket from thy 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 to Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
6
And the Egyptians ill-treated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
7
And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression:
8
And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an out-stretched 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 first-fruits 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 to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.
