When it happens that you come to the land that Adonoy, your God, is giving you as territory, nd you inherit it and settle it;

You are to take of the first of all the fruits of the soil that you bring from your land, that Adonoy, your God, is giving you, and place [it] in a basket; and go to the place that Adonoy, your God, chooses to house His Presence there.

You are to come to the kohein who will be [of service] during those days and you will say to him, ‘‘I ascertain today to [before] Adonoy, your God, that I have arrived in the land that Adonoy swore to our forefathers to give us.’’

The kohein shall then take the basket from your hand, and he will place it before the altar of Adonoy, your God.

And you shall then proclaim and say before Adonoy, your God, ‘‘[Lovon] the Aramite [wanted to] destroy[ed] my forefather, then he descended to Egypt and sojourned there with a tiny community [small nation]; and there he became a great people, powerful and numerous.

‘‘The Egyptians treated us badly and oppressed us, and they imposed hard labor upon us.

‘‘We prayed to [before] Adonoy, God of our forefathers, and Adonoy accepted our prayer, and perceived [before Him] our oppression, and our labor, and the pressure upon us.

‘‘And Adonoy took us out of Egypt with a powerful hand and with an extended arm, and with great display, and with signs, and with wonders.

‘‘And He brought us to this place, and He gave us this land, a land flowing milk and honey.

And now, see! I have brought the first of the fruits of the soil that You have given me Adonoy.’’ And you shall then place it before Adonoy, your God, and you will prostrate yourself in the presence of Adonoy, your God.

You shall rejoice with all the good that Adonoy, your God, gave you and [the members of] your household; you, the levi, and the proselyte in your midst.

When you finish tithing all the tithes of your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe; and you have given to the Levi, to the proselyte, to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your portals to their satisfaction;

You shall declare before Adonoy, your God, ‘‘I have divested my estate of sacred [tithe] material, and I have also presented it to the Levi and also to the proselyte, the orphan, and the widow, totally according to Your command that You commanded me; I did not transgress any of Your commandments nor did I forget.

I did not eat of it when grieving, nor did I devour it when ritually defiled, nor did I make use of it for the dead; I have heeded the voice [word] of Adonoy, my God; I have fulfilled everything that You commanded me.

View, from Your sacred residence, from the heavens, and bless Your people, Yisroel and the soil which You have given us, as You swore to our forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’’

This very day, Adonoy, your God, commands you to perform these statutes and the laws; you shall observe and perform them wholeheartedly and with your whole being.

Adonoy, you have distinguised today to be a God for you and to go in His ways [which are proper before Him] and to guard His statutes and His commandments and His laws, and to obey Him [accept His word].

And Adonoy has distinguished you today to be for Him a treasured people as He said to you, and to guard all His commandments.

And to place you superior to all the nations whom He made, for praise and for renown and for glory, and so that you may be a people sanctified to [before] Adonoy, your God, as He said.
