Open English Translation DEU Chapter 26

26 After you’ve entered the land that your god Yahweh is giving you as an inheritance, and you occupy it and live there, 2 each of you should take some of the very first harvest in that place and put it in a basket. Then take it to the place that your god Yahweh is going to choose to attach his name to.[ref] 3 Go to the high priest in office at that time, and tell him, “I declare today to your god Yahweh that I’ve entered the land that he promised to our ancestors to give us.”

4 The priest will take that basket of food and place it in front of your god Yahweh’s altar. 5 Then in Yahweh’s presence you should respond, “My ancestor was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt with his smallish family, and lived there and eventually became a large and powerful people. 6 But the Egyptians treated us badly and oppressed us—forcing us into hard labour. 7 We cried out to our ancestors’ god Yahweh to help us, and he heard our cry and saw our suffering and oppression and the hard labour. 8 Then using your great power and doing many miracles and other terrifying things, you brought us out from Egypt. 9 ◙ 10 ◙
