1And
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;
2That
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.
3And
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.
|
4And
the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it
down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
5And
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:
6And
the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon
us hard bondage:
7And
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:
|
8And
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:
9And
he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land,
even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10And
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:
11And 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.
