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, 2 that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring 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. 3 And you shall go to the priest who is in those days and 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.” 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. 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 dwelt there with men few in number, and he became there a nation great, mighty, and numerous. 6 And the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us and laid on us hard labor. 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. 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 wonders.
