The Law of the Offering of First Fruits

When you are dwelling in the land which the Lord your God gives to you, you shall take of the first fruits of the land and put it in a basket and go into the appointed place of the Lord and offer it there.  On entering there, the basket of fruit shall be given to the priest with the words, “I profess this day unto the Lord your God that I am come unto the country which the Lord swore unto our fathers to give us.”  And the priest shall take the basket and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God. Then shall you speak again and say, “A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt and sojourn there with a few, and became there a nation great, mighty, and populous.  And the Egyptians badly treated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage. And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked upon our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression.  And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm, and with awe-inspiring terror, and with signs, and with wonders.”
