“ Celebrate the Feast of Weeks. Bring the first share of your crops from your fields.“ Celebrate the Feast of Booths. Hold it in the fall when you gather in your crops from your fields.

When you do, get some of the first share of everything your soil produces. Put it in a basket. It’s from the land the Lord your God is giving you. Take your gifts and go to the special place he will choose. He will put his Name there.Speak to the priest in office at that time. Tell him,“ I announce today to the Lord your God that I have come to this land. It’s the land he promised to give us. He promised it to our people of long ago.”The priest will receive the basket from you. He’ll set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.Then you will speak while the Lord is listening. You will say,“ My father Jacob was a wanderer from the land of Aram. He went down into Egypt with a few people. He lived there and became the father of a great nation. It had huge numbers of people.But the people of Egypt treated us badly. They made us suffer. They made us work very hard.Then we cried out to the Lord. He is the God of our people who lived long ago. He heard our voice. He saw how much we were suffering. The Egyptians were treating us badly. They were making us work very hard.So the Lord used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring us out of Egypt. He did great and terrifying things. He did signs and amazing things.He brought us to this place. He gave us this land. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey.Now, Lord, I’m bringing you the first share of crops from the soil. After all, you have given them to me.” Place the basket in front of the Lord your God. Bow down to him.

“ Bring the best of the first share of your crops to my house. I am the Lord your God.“ Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

But put God’s kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you.

Honor the Lord with your wealth. Give him the first share of all your crops.Then your storerooms will be so full they can’t hold everything. Your huge jars will spill over with fresh wine.

God chose to give us new birth through the message of truth. He wanted us to be the first harvest of his new creation.

And that’s not all. We have the Holy Spirit as the promise of future blessing. But we also groan inside ourselves. We do this as we look forward to the time when God adopts us as full members of his family. Then he will give us everything he has for us. He will raise our bodies and give glory to them.
