Deuteronomy 26

1And it shall be, when thou hast come inH935 to the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and dost possessH3423 it, and dwellestH3427 in it; 2That thou shalt takeH3947 of the firstH7225 of all the fruitH6529 of the earthH127, which thou shalt bringH935 of thy landH776 that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and shalt putH7760 it in a basketH2935, and shalt goH1980 to the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977 to placeH7931 his nameH8034 there. 3And thou shalt goH935 to the priestH3548 that shall be in those daysH3117, and sayH559 to him, I professH5046 this dayH3117 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that I have comeH935 to the countryH776 which the LORDH3068 sworeH7650 to our fathersH1 to giveH5414 us. 4And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the basketH2935 from thy handH3027, and set it downH3240 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. 5And thou shalt speakH6030 and sayH559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, A SyrianH761 ready to perishH6 was my fatherH1, and he went downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and sojournedH1481 there withH4962 a fewH4592, and became there a nationH1471, greatH1419, mightyH6099, and populousH7227: 6And the EgyptiansH4713 oppressedH7489 us, and afflictedH6031 us, and laidH5414 upon us hardH7186 bondageH5656: 7And when we criedH6817 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, the LORDH3068 heardH8085 our voiceH6963, and lookedH7200 on our afflictionH6040, and our labourH5999, and our oppressionH3906: 8And the LORDH3068 brought usH3318 out of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with an outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and with greatH1419 terriblenessH4172, and with signsH226, and with wondersH4159: 9And he hath broughtH935 us into this placeH4725, and hath givenH5414 us this landH776, even a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 10And now, behold, I have broughtH935 the firstfruitsH6529H7225 of the landH127, which thou, O LORDH3068, hast givenH5414 me. And thou shalt setH3240 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and worshipH7812 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: 11And thou shalt rejoiceH8055 in every goodH2896 thing which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 to thee, and to thy houseH1004, thou, and the LeviteH3881, and the strangerH1616 that is amongH7130 you.

12When thou hast finishedH3615 tithingH6237 all the tithesH4643 of thy increaseH8393 the thirdH7992 yearH8141, which is the yearH8141 of tithingH4643, and hast givenH5414 it to the LeviteH3881, the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that they may eatH398 within thy gatesH8179, and be filledH7646; 13Then thou shalt sayH559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, I have brought awayH1197 the hallowed thingsH6944 out of my houseH1004, and also have givenH5414 them to the LeviteH3881, and to the strangerH1616, to the fatherlessH3490, and to the widowH490, according to all thy commandmentsH4687 which thou hast commandedH6680 me: I have not transgressedH5674 thy commandmentsH4687, neither have I forgottenH7911 them : 14I have not eatenH398 of it in my mourningH205, neither have I taken awayH1197 any of it for any uncleanH2931 use, nor givenH5414 any of it for the deadH4191: but I have hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and have doneH6213 according to all that thou hast commandedH6680 me. 15Look downH8259 from thy holyH6944 habitationH4583, from heavenH8064, and blessH1288 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and the landH127 which thou hast givenH5414 us, as thou didst swearH7650 to our fathersH1, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.

16This dayH3117 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thee to performH6213 these statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941: thou shalt therefore keepH8104 and doH6213 them with all thy heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315. 17Thou hast proclaimedH559 the LORDH3068 this dayH3117 to be thy GodH430, and to walkH3212 in his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his statutesH2706, and his commandmentsH4687, and his judgmentsH4941, and to hearkenH8085 to his voiceH6963: 18And the LORDH3068 hath proclaimedH559 thee this dayH3117 to be his specialH5459 peopleH5971, as he hath promisedH1696 thee, and that thou shouldest keepH8104 all his commandmentsH4687; 19And to makeH5414 thee highH5945 above all nationsH1471 which he hath madeH6213, in praiseH8416, and in nameH8034, and in honourH8597; and that thou mayest be an holyH6918 peopleH5971 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, as he hath spokenH1696.
