1"And when you have entered the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you as an inheritance, and you have possessed it, and you have settled in it;
2Take from the first of all of the fruit of the land that you bring from the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you, and put it in a basket and arise, go to the region that LORD JEHOVAH your God has chosen where his name will dwell.
3And come to the Priest who will be in those days and say to him: 'I have shown today to LORD JEHOVAH your God that I have come to the land that LORD JEHOVAH swore to our fathers to give to us'.
4And the Priest shall take the basket from your hand and he shall put it before LORD JEHOVAH your God.
5And answer and say before LORD JEHOVAH your God: 'My father was led to Aram and he came down to Egypt and dwelt there a little time and he was there with a great people and was strengthened:
6And the Egyptians did evil to us and they humiliated us and they placed hard service upon us:
7And we cried out to LORD JEHOVAH the God of our fathers, and LORD JEHOVAH heard our voice and he saw our humiliation and our toil and our afflictions:
8And LORD JEHOVAH brought us out from Egypt by a mighty hand and by a lifted up arm and in a great appearance and with signs and by wonders:
9And we came to this region and LORD JEHOVAH gave us this land, a land that flows with milk and honey.
10And now, behold, I brought the first fruits of the fruit of the land that LORD JEHOVAH gives to me', and set it before LORD JEHOVAH your God and worship there before LORD JEHOVAH your God:
11And rejoice in every good thing that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you and to your house, you and the Levites and the foreign settlers who are among you. 12And when you have finished tithing all the tithes of your crops in the third year, which is the year of tithes, give to the Levite and to the foreign settler and to the orphan and the widow and they shall eat in your towns and they will be satisfied; 13And say before LORD JEHOVAH your God: 'I searched holiness from the house and I have given it to the Levite and to the settler and the orphan and the widow, according to all of the commandments that you have commanded me; I have not passed over from your commandments and I have not forgotten: 14And I have not eaten from it in my mourning and I have not sought it when I was defiled and I have not set some of it for the dead, but I heard the voice of LORD JEHOVAH my God, and I have done as you commanded me. 15See from the dwelling of your holiness from Heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you have given to us, as you swore the land that flows with milk and honey to our fathers'. 16Today LORD JEHOVAH your God commands you to do these laws and keep the judgments and do them from all your heart and from all your soul. 17To LORD JEHOVAH you have said today that He will be God to you, and you will walk in his ways and you will keep his laws and his judgments and his commandments and you will hear his voice: 18And LORD JEHOVAH said to you today that you shall be to him the beloved people, as he said to you, and you shall keep all of his commandments; 19And he shall make you higher than all of the nations which He made for glory and for a name and for honor, and you shall be holy people to LORD JEHOVAH your God, as He said to you.” The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
