Tree of Life Version
Deuteronomy 26:2-11
2you are to take some of the first of all the produce of the soil, which you gather from your land that Adonai your God is giving you, put it in a basket and go to the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell.
3You are to go to the kohen in charge in those days and say to him, ‘I declare today to Adonai your God, that I have entered into the land Adonai swore to our fathers to give us.’
4The kohen is to take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of Adonai your God.
5“Then you are to respond before Adonai your God, ‘My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt and lived there as an outsider, few in number. But there he became a great nation—mighty and numerous.
6The Egyptians treated us badly, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.
7Then we cried out to Adonai, God of our fathers, and Adonai listened to our voice and saw our affliction, our toil and our oppression.
8Then Adonai brought us out from Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders.
9He brought us to this place and gave us this land—a land flowing with milk and honey.
10So now, look! I have brought the first of the fruits of the soil that You have given me, Adonai.’ Then you are to set it down before Adonai your God and worship before Adonai your God.
11You will rejoice in all the good that Adonai your God has given to you and to your house—you, the Levite, and the outsider in your midst.
