Deuteronomy 26:2-10
you must take the first of all the ground’s produce you harvest from the land the LORD your God is giving you, place it in a basket, and go to the place where he chooses to locate his name.You must go to the priest in office at that time and say to him,“ I declare today to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD promised to our ancestors to give us.”The priest will then take the basket from you and set it before the altar of the LORD your God.Then you must affirm before the LORD YOUR GOD,“ A wandering Aramean was my ancestor, and he went down to Egypt and lived there as a foreigner with a household few in number, but there he became a great, powerful, and numerous people.But the Egyptians mistreated and oppressed us, forcing us to do burdensome labor.So we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors, and he heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression.Therefore the LORD brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.So now, look! I have brought the first of the ground’s produce that you, LORD, have given me.” Then you must set it down before the LORD your God and worship before him.
