Deuteronomy 26:2–11

²you must take some of the first of all the land’s produce that you harvest from the land Yahweh your God is giving you and put it in a container. Then go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to have His name dwell. ^m3When you come before the priest who is serving at that time, you must say to him, ‘Today I acknowledge to the Lord your ⁿGod that I have entered the land the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’

⁴“Then the priest will take the container from your hand and place it before the altar of the Lord your God. ⁵You are to respond by saying in the presence of the Lord your God:

My father was a wandering Aramean. ^oHe went down to Egypt with a few people and lived there. ^pThere he became a great, powerful, and populous nation. ⁶But the Egyptians mistreated and afflicted us, and forced us to do hard labor. ⁷So we called out to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our cry and saw our misery, hardship, and oppression. ^q8Then the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with terrifying power, and with signs and wonders. ⁹He led us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. ^r10I have now brought the first of the land’s produce that You, Lord, have given me.

You will then place the container before the Lord your God and bow down to Him. ¹¹You, the Levite, and the foreign resident among you will rejoice ^sin all the good things the Lord your God has given you and your household.
