ASV_Strong : Deuteronomy 26
1. And it shall be[H935], when thou art come in unto the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee for an inheritance[H5159], and possessest[H3423] it[H3427], and dwellest therein,
2. that thou shalt take[H3947] of the first[H7225] of all the fruit[H6529] of the ground[H127], which thou shalt bring[H935] in from thy land[H776] that Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee[H7760]; and thou shalt put it in a basket[H2935], and shalt go[H1980] unto the place[H4725] which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] shall choose[H977], to cause his name[H8034] to dwell there[H7931].
3. And thou shalt come[H935] unto the priest[H3548] that shall be in those days[H3117], and say[H559] unto him[H5046], I profess this day[H3117] unto Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], that I am come[H935] unto the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] sware[H7650] unto our fathers[H1] to give us[H5414].
4. And the priest[H3548] shall take[H3947] the basket[H2935] out of thy hand[H3027], and set it down[H3240] before[H6440] the altar[H4196] of Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430].
5. And thou shalt answer[H6030] and say[H559] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], A Syrian[H761] ready to perish[H6] was my father[H1]; and he went down[H3381] into Egypt[H4714], and sojourned[H1481] there[H4592], few in[H4962] number[H1471]; and he became there a nation, great[H1419], mighty[H6099], and populous[H7227].
6. And the Egyptians[H4713] dealt[H7489] ill with us[H6031], and afflicted us[H5414], and laid upon us hard[H7186] bondage[H5656]:
7. and we cried[H6817] unto Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of our fathers[H1], and Jehovah[H3068] heard[H8085] our voice[H6963], and saw[H7200] our affliction[H6040], and our toil[H5999], and our oppression[H3906];
8. and Jehovah[H3068] brought us forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714] with a mighty[H2389] hand[H3027], and with an outstretched[H5186] arm[H2220], and with great[H1419] terribleness[H4172], and with signs[H226], and with wonders[H4159];
9. and he hath brought[H935] us into this place[H4725], and hath given[H5414] us this land[H776], a land[H776] flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706].
10. And now[H935], behold, I have brought the first[H6529] of the fruit of the ground[H127], which thou[H3068], O Jehovah, hast given[H5414] me[H3240]. And thou shalt set it down before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], and worship[H7812] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430]:
11. and thou shalt rejoice[H8055] in all the good[H2896] which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] hath given[H5414] unto thee[H1004], and unto thy house, thou[H3881], and the Levite, and the sojourner[H1616] that is in the midst of thee[H7130].
12. When thou hast made an end[H3615] of tithing[H6237] all the tithe[H4643] of thine increase[H8393] in the third[H7992] year[H8141], which is the year[H8141] of tithing[H4643], then thou shalt give[H5414] it unto the Levite[H3881], to the sojourner[H1616], to the fatherless[H3490], and to the widow[H490], that they may eat[H398] within thy gates[H8179], and be filled[H7646].
13. And thou shalt say[H559] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], I have put away[H1197] the hallowed things[H6944] out of my house[H1004], and also have given[H5414] them unto the Levite[H3881], and unto the sojourner[H1616], to the fatherless[H3490], and to the widow[H490], according to all thy commandment[H4687] which thou hast commanded[H6680] me[H5674]: I have not transgressed any of thy commandments[H4687], neither have I forgotten them[H7911]:
14. I have not eaten[H398] thereof in my mourning[H205], neither have I put away[H1197] thereof[H2931], being unclean, nor given[H5414] thereof for the dead[H4191]: I have hearkened[H8085] to the voice[H6963] of Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430]; I have done[H6213] according to all that thou hast commanded me[H6680].
15. Look down[H8259] from thy holy[H6944] habitation[H4583], from heaven[H8064], and bless[H1288] thy people[H5971] Israel[H3478], and the ground[H127] which thou hast given[H5414] us[H7650], as thou swarest unto our fathers[H1], a land[H776] flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706].
16. This day[H3117] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] commandeth[H6680] thee to do[H6213] these statutes[H2706] and ordinances[H4941]: thou shalt therefore keep[H8104] and do[H6213] them with all thy heart[H3824], and with all thy soul[H5315].
17. Thou hast avouched[H559] Jehovah[H3068] this day[H3117] to be thy God[H430], and that thou wouldest walk[H3212] in his ways[H1870], and keep[H8104] his statutes[H2706], and his commandments[H4687], and his ordinances[H4941], and hearken[H8085] unto his voice[H6963]:
18. and Jehovah[H3068] hath avouched[H559] thee this day[H3117] to be a people[H5971] for his own possession[H5459], as he hath promised[H1696] thee[H8104], and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments[H4687];
19. and to make[H5414] thee high[H5945] above all nations[H1471] that he hath made[H6213], in praise[H8416], and in name[H8034], and in honor[H8597]; and that thou mayest be a holy[H6918] people[H5971] unto Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], as he hath spoken[H1696].
