26WHEN YOU have come into the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance and possess it and live in it,H935H776H3068H430H5414H5159H3423H3427 2You shall take some of the first of all the produce of the soil which you harvest from the land the Lord your God gives you and put it in a basket, and go to the place [the sanctuary] which the Lord your God has chosen as the abiding place for His Name [and His Presence].H3947H7225H6529H127H935H776H3068H430H5414H7760H2935H1980H4725H3068H430H977H7931H8034 3And you shall go to the priest who is in office in those days, and say to him, I give thanks this day to the Lord your God that I have come to the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.H935H3548H3117H559H5046H3117H3068H430H935H776H3068H7650H1H5414 4And the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.H3548H3947H2935H3027H3240H6440H4196H3068H430 5And you shall say before the Lord your God, A wandering {and} lost Aramean ready to perish was my father [Jacob], and he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.H6030H559H6440H3068H430H761H6H1H3381H4714H1481H4962H4592H1471H1419H6099H7227 6And the Egyptians treated us very badly and afflicted us and laid upon us hard bondage.H4713H7489H6031H5414H7186H5656 7And when we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our [cruel] oppression;H6817H3068H430H1H3068H8085H6963H7200H6040H5999H3906 8And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, and with great (awesome) power and with signs and with wonders;H3068H3318H4714H2389H3027H5186H2220H1419H4172H226H4159 9And He brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.H935H4725H5414H776H776H2100H2461H1706 10And now, behold, I bring the firstfruits of the ground which You, O Lord, have given me. And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God;H935H6529H7225H127H3068H5414H3240H6440H3068H430H7812H6440H3068H430 11And you and the Levite and the stranger {and} the sojourner among you shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.H8055H2896H3068H430H5414H1004H3881H1616H7130 12When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger {and} the sojourner, the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your towns and be filled,H3615H6237H4643H8393H7992H8141H8141H4643H5414H3881H1616H3490H490H398H8179H7646 13Then you shall say before the Lord your God, I have brought the hallowed things (the tithe) out of my house and moreover have given them to the Levite, to the stranger {and} the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed any of Your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.H559H6440H3068H430H1197H6944H1004H5414H3881H1616H3490H490H4687H6680H5674H4687H7911 14I have not eaten of the tithe in my mourning [making the tithe unclean], nor have I handled any of it when I was unclean, nor given any of it to the dead. I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God; I have done according to all that You have commanded me.H398H205H1197H2931H5414H4191H8085H6963H3068H430H6213H6680 15Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land which You have given us as You swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.H8259H6944H4583H8064H1288H5971H3478H127H5414H7650H1H776H2100H2461H1706 16This day the Lord your God has commanded you to do these statutes and ordinances. Therefore you shall keep and do them with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being.H3117H3068H430H6680H6213H2706H4941H8104H6213H3824H5315 17You have [openly] declared the Lord this day to be your God, [pledging] to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes and His commandments and His precepts, and to hearken to His voice.H559H3068H3117H430H3212H1870H8104H2706H4687H4941H8085H6963 18And the Lord has declared this day that you are His peculiar people as He promised you, and you are to keep all His commandments;H3068H559H3117H5459H5971H1696H8104H4687 19And He will make you high above all nations which He has made, in praise and in fame and in honor, and that you shall be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.H5414H5945H1471H6213H8416H8034H8597H6918H5971H3068H430H1696
