1. The Lord is giving you the land, and soon you will conquer it, settle down,
2. and plant crops. And when you begin harvesting each of your crops, the very first things you pick must be put in a basket. Take them to the place where the Lord your God chooses to be worshipped,
3. and tell the priest, “Long ago the Lord our God promised our ancestors that he would give us this land. And today, I thank him for keeping his promise and giving me a share of the land.”
4. The priest will take the basket and set it in front of the Lord's altar.
5. Then, standing there in front of the place of worship, you must pray:My ancestor was homeless,an Aramean who went to livein Egypt.There were only a fewin his family then,but they became greatand powerful,a nation of many people.
6. The Egyptians were crueland had no pity on us.They ill-treated our peopleand forced us into slavery.
