Deuteronomy
Chapter 26
1
And it shall be,
when
you are come in unto the land
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
gives
you for an inheritance,
and
possess it, and dwell therein; 2
that
you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the earth,
which
you shall bring of your land
that
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead gives you,
and
shall put it in a basket,
and
shall go unto the place
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
shall
choose to place His Name there.
3
And you shall go unto the priest
who
shall be in those days, and say unto him,
I
profess this day unto Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
that
I am come unto the country which Jehovah/God
swore
unto our fathers for to give us.
4
And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand,
and
set it down before the altar
of
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead.
5
And you shall speak and say
before
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
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.
6
And the Egyptians evil entreated us,
and
afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.
7
And when we cried unto Jehovah/God
Elohiym/Godhead
of our fathers,
Jehovah/God
heard our voice,
and
looked on our affliction,
and
our labor, and our oppression.
8
And Jehovah/God 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.
9
And He has brought us into this place,
and
has given us this land,
even
a land that flows with milk and honey.
10
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land,
which
you, O Jehovah/God, have given me.
And
you shall set it before Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
and
worship before Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead.
11
And you shall rejoice in every good thing
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead has given unto you,
and
unto your house, you, and the Levite,
and
the stranger who is among you.
12
When you have made an end of tithing
all
the tithes of your increase the third year,
which
is the year of tithing,
and
have given it unto the Levite,
the
stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
that
they may eat within your gates, and be filled; 13
then
you shall say before Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
I
have brought away the hallowed things out of my house,
and
also have given them unto the Levite,
and
unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow,
according
to all your commandments
which
you have commanded me.
I
have not transgressed Your commandments,
neither
have I forgotten them.
14
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning,
neither
have I taken away aught thereof for any unclean use,
nor
given aught thereof for the dead.
But
I have 'heard, listened and obeyed' {shama'}
to
the voice of Jehovah/God my Elohiym/Godhead,
and
have done according to all that You have commanded me.
15
Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven,
and
bless Your people Israel,
and
the land which you have given us,
as
you swore unto our fathers,
a
land that flows with milk and honey.
16
This day Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
has
commanded you to do these statutes and judgments.
You
shall therefore guard/keep and do them with all your heart,
and
with all your soul.
17
You have avouched Jehovah/God this day
to
be your Elohiym/Godhead,
and
to Walk in His Ways,
and
to guard/keep His statutes,
and
His commandments,
and
His judgments,
and
to 'hear, listen and obey' {shama'}
unto
His voice.
18
And Jehovah/God has avouched you this day
to
be His peculiar people,
as
He has promised you,
and
that you should guard/keep all His commandments.
19
And to make you high above all nations
which
He has made, in praise, and in name,
and
in honor;
and
that you may be an holy people
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
as
He has spoken.
