Chapter 26

1

AND it shall be, when you are come in unto the land which Yahuah Elohayka 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 Yahuah Elohayka gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go unto the place which Yahuah Elohayka shall choose to place his name there.

3

And you shall go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Yahuah Elohayka, that I am come unto the country which Yahuah 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 Yahuah Elohayka.

5

And you shall speak and say before Yahuah Elohayka, An Arammiy ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Mitsrayim, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

6

And the Mitsriym evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

7

And when we cried unto El-Yahuah Elohai of our fathers, Yahuah heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression:

8

And Yahuah brought us forth out of Mitsrayim 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 Yahuah, have given me. And you shall set it before Yahuah Elohayka, and worship before Yahuah Elohayka:

11

And you shall rejoice in every good thing which Yahuah Elohayka has given unto you, and unto your house, you, and the Leviyiy, 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 unto the Leviyiy, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;

13

Then you shall say before Yahuah Elohayka, I have brought away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Leviyiy, 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 ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of Yahuah Elohai, and have done according to all that you have commanded me.

15

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Yashar'el, 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 Yahuah Elohayka has commanded you to do these commandments and these judgments: you shall therefore guard and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.

17

You have avouched Yahuah this day to be your Elohiym, and to walk in his ways, and to guard his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

18

And Yahuah has avouched you this day to be his peculiar people, as he has promised you, and that you should guard 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 a holy people unto Yahuah Elohayka, as he has spoken.
