Deuteronomy 26:2-10
you must take some of the first of all the land’s produce that you harvest from the land Yahweh your God is giving you and put it in a container. Then go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to have His name dwell.When you come before the priest who is serving at that time, you must say to him,‘ Today I acknowledge to the Lord your God that I have entered the land the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’“ Then the priest will take the container from your hand and place it before the altar of the Lord your God.You are to respond by saying in the presence of the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramean. He went down to Egypt with a few people and lived there. There he became a great, powerful, and populous nation.But the Egyptians mistreated and afflicted us, and forced us to do hard labor.So we called out to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our cry and saw our misery, hardship, and oppression.Then the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with terrifying power, and with signs and wonders.He led us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.I have now brought the first of the land’s produce that You, Lord, have given me. You will then place the container before the Lord your God and bow down to Him.
