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.
05:026:014 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.
05:026:015 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.
05:026:016 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.
05:026:017 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:
05:026:018 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;
05:026:019 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.
