¶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;

That thou shalt² 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 unto³ the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

And thou shalt go unto the priest⁴ 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 the⁵ LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.

And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the⁶ altar of the LORD thy God.

And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian⁷ ready⁸ to perish was my father, and he went down⁹ into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few¹⁰, and became¹¹ there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

¹²And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

And when we cried¹³ unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked¹⁴ on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

And the LORD¹⁵ brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great¹⁶ terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

And he hath¹⁷ brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land¹⁸ that floweth with milk and honey.

¶ And now, behold, I have¹⁹ brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou²⁰ shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship²¹ before the LORD thy God:

And thou shalt rejoice²² in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite²³, and the stranger that is among you.

¶ When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes²⁴ of thine increase the third²⁵ year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it²⁶ unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

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 Levite²⁷, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not²⁸ transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten²⁹ them:

I have not eaten³⁰ thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead³¹: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

Look down³² from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy³³ people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou³⁴ swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

¶ This day³⁵ the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep³⁶ and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Thou hast avouched³⁷ the LORD this day to be thy God, and to³⁸ walk in his ways, and to keep³⁹ his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken⁴⁰ unto his voice:

And the⁴¹ LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep⁴² all his commandments;

And to make thee high above⁴³ all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy⁴⁴ people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
