1 And it shall come to pass, when you come into the land that YHWH your God is giving to you [as] an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, VP
2 that you shall take from the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that YHWH your God is giving you, and you shall put it in the basket and go to the place where YHWH your God chooses for His Name to dwell there. VP
3 And you shall go to the priest who is in those days, and you shall say to him, “I declare today to YHWH your God that I have come to the land that YHWH swore to our fathers to give to us.” VP
4 And the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the face of the altar of YHWH your God. VP
5 And you shall answer and say before the face of YHWH your God, “My father [was] a perishing Aramaean, and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there with men few in number, and he became there a nation great, mighty, and numerous. VP
6 And the Egyptians did evil to us, and they afflicted us, and they laid on us hard labor. VP
7 And we cried out to YHWH, God of our fathers, and YHWH heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our toil and our oppression. VP
8 And YHWH brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs and with wonders. VP
9 And He brought us to this place and He gave to us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. VP
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which You have given to me, O YHWH.” And you shall set it down before the face of YHWH your God and bow down before the face of YHWH your God. VP
11 And you shall rejoice in all the good that YHWH your God has given to you and to your house—you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] among you. VP
12 When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, and you have given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they shall eat within your gates and be satisfied, VP
13 then you shall say before the face of YHWH your God, “I have removed the holy [portion] from the house, and also I have given it to the Levite and to the sojourner, to the fatherless and to the widow, according to all Your commandments that You have commanded me. I have not transgressed Your commandments, and I have not forgotten. VP
14 I have not eaten from it in my mourning, and I have not removed from it in uncleanness, and I have not given from it for the dead. I have listened to the voice of YHWH my God; I have done according to all that You have commanded me. VP
15 Look down from Your holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Your people Israel and the ground that You have given to us, as You swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.” VP
16 This day YHWH your God is commanding you to do these statutes and the judgments. And you shall keep and you shall do them with all your heart and with all your soul. VP
17 You have proclaimed YHWH today to be to you for God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes and His commandments and His judgments, and to listen to His voice. VP
18 And YHWH has proclaimed you today to be for Himself for a people of treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to keep all His commandments, VP
19 and to set you high above all nations that He has made, for praise and for name and for beauty, and for your being a holy people to YHWH your God, as He has spoken. VP
