Book 05 : DEUTERONOMY - Chapter 026
026:001
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
026:002
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
026:003
And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and
set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God
026:004
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
026:005
And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and
laid upon us hard bondage
026:006
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
026:007
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
026:008
And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this
land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey
026:009
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
026:010
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
026:011
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
026:012
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
026:013
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
026:014
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
026:015
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
026:016
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
026:017
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
026:018
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
