These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 26

 1 And it shall be, when you have come into the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) 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 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) gives to you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) shall choose to place His name there.

3 And you shall go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him: I profess this day to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), that I have come to the country which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) swore to 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 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym).

 5 And you shall speak and say before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym): An Exalted One (Syrian) ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Double Straights (Egypt), and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

 6 And the Double Straighters (Egyptians) evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

 7 When we cried out to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of our fathers, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression:

 8 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought us forth out of Double Straights (Egypt) with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

9 He has brought us into this place and has given us this land, a land that flows with milk and honey.

 

10 Now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which you, O I AM (Lord), have given me. You shall set it before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), and worship before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym):

 11 You shall rejoice in every good thing which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Child of Joined To (Levite), and the stranger that 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 to the Child of Joined To (Levite), the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;

 13 Then you shall say before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), I have brought away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Child of Joined To (Levite), and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments which thou 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 any thereof for any unclean use, nor given any thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) my God (‘Elohiym), and have done according to all that You have commanded me.

15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people God Prevails (Israel), and the land which You have given us, as You swore to our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.

 16 This day I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) has commanded you to do these statutes and judgments: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.

17 You have avouched I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) this day to be your God (‘Elohiym), and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice:

 18 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has avouched you this day to be His peculiar people, as He has promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments;

 19 To make you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor; that you may be a holy people to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), as He has spoken.
