Deuteronomy
Chapter 26
1 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto 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 unto the place which the
LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days,
and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am
come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give
us.
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine 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 into Egypt, and
sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty,
and populous:
6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid
upon us hard bondage:
7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD
heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our
oppression:
8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
and with an outstretched 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 firstfruits 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 unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite,
and the stranger that is among you.
12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine
increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given
it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that
they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away
the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto
the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow,
according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have
not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken
away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the
dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have
done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy
people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest
unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these
statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul.
17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk
in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his
judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar
people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his
commandments;
19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in
praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy
people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
