Deuteronomy 26:2-11

2you are to takeH3947 some of the firstfruitsH7225 of allH3605 your produceH6529 from the soilH127 of the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you and putH7760 them in a basketH2935. Then goH1980 toH413 the placeH4725 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will chooseH977H8033 as a dwellingH7931 for His NameH8034, 3toH413 the priestH3548 whoH834 isH1961 serving at thatH1992 timeH3117, and sayH559 to himH413, “I declareH5046 todayH3117 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 thatH3588 I have enteredH935H413 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 sworeH7650 to our fathersH1 to giveH5414 us.”

4Then the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the basketH2935 from your handsH3027 and place itH5117 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, 5and you are to declareH6030H559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, “My fatherH1 was a wanderingH6 ArameanH761, and he went downH3381 to EgyptH4714 few in numberH4592 and livedH1481 thereH8033H4962 and becameH1961 a greatH1419 nationH1471, mightyH6099 and numerousH7227. 6But the EgyptiansH4713 mistreated usH7489 and afflicted usH6031, putting usH5414H5921 to hardH7186 laborH5656. 7So we called outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of our fathersH1; and the LORDH3068 heardH8085 our voiceH6963 and sawH7200 our afflictionH6040, toilH5999, and oppressionH3906. 8Then the LORDH3068 brought usH3318 out of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027 and an outstretchedH5186 armH2220, with greatH1419 terrorH4172, signsH226, and wondersH4159. 9And He brought usH935 toH413 thisH2088 placeH4725 and gaveH5414 us thisH2063 landH776, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 10And nowH6258, beholdH2009, I have broughtH935 the firstfruitsH7225H6529 of the landH127 thatH834 You, O LORDH3068, have givenH5414 me.”

Then you are to placeH5117 the basket beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 and bow downH7812 beforeH6440 HimH3068H430. 11So you shall rejoiceH8055—youH859, the LeviteH3881, and the foreigner dwellingH1616 among youH7130—in allH3605 the goodH2896 things the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 to you and your householdH1004.
