Bible. Deuteronomy
05:026:001 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;
05:026:002 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.
05:026:003 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.
05:026:004 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and
set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
05:026:005 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:
05:026:006 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and
laid upon us hard bondage:
05:026:007 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:
05:026:008 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:
05:026:009 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this
land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
05:026:010 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:
05:026:011 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.
05:026:012 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;
05:026:013 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.
