  1. "And it shall be, when you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it,
  2. "That you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide.
  3. "And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, 'I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.'
  4. "Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.
  5. "And you shall answer and say before the Lord your God:  'My father was a Syrian, about to perish, and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there, few in number; and there he became a nation, great, mighty and populous.  (Deut. 10:22;   Ps. 68:10)
  6. 'But the Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and laid hard bondage on us.  (Ex. 1:8-11;   Ex. 1:14)
