1 “You|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" soon|strong="H3588" enter|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0834" land|strong="H0776" that|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" is|strong="H0834" giving|strong="H5414" you|strong="H0834". You|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" take|strong="H3423" that|strong="H0834" land|strong="H0776" and|strong="H0935" live|strong="H3427" there|strong="H1961".
2 You|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" gather the|strong="H3605" crops that|strong="H0834" grow|strong="H1980" in|strong="H1980" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" is|strong="H0834" giving|strong="H5414" you|strong="H0834". You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H3947" take|strong="H3947" some|strong="H8033" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" first|strong="H7225" crops you|strong="H0834" gather and|strong="H1980" put|strong="H5414" them|strong="H0413" in|strong="H1980" baskets. Then|strong="H1980" take|strong="H3947" that|strong="H0834" part of|strong="H0776" your|strong="H3068" harvest|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" place|strong="H4725" that|strong="H0834" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" chooses|strong="H0977" to|strong="H0413" be|strong="H8034" the|strong="H3605" home|strong="H4725" for|strong="H0413" his|strong="H3605" name|strong="H8034".
3 Go|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0559" priest|strong="H3548" who|strong="H0834" is|strong="H0834" serving at|strong="H0413" that|strong="H0834" time|strong="H3117". Tell|strong="H5046" him|strong="H0413", ‘The|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" promised|strong="H7650" our|strong="H3068" ancestors|strong="H0001" that|strong="H0834" he|strong="H0834" would|strong="H3068" give|strong="H5414" us|strong="H5414" some|strong="H1992" land|strong="H0776". Today|strong="H3117" I|strong="H0834" come|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0413" announce|strong="H5046" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" that|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" have|strong="H1961" come|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0413" that|strong="H0834" land|strong="H0776".’
4 “Then|strong="H3947" the|strong="H6440" priest|strong="H3548" will|strong="H3068" take|strong="H3947" the|strong="H6440" basket|strong="H2935" from|strong="H6440" you|strong="H6440". He|strong="H0430" will|strong="H3068" put|strong="H3240" it|strong="H3947" down|strong="H3027" in|strong="H0430" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H0430" the|strong="H6440" altar|strong="H4196" of|strong="H0430" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".
5 Then|strong="H6030" there|strong="H8033" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" you|strong="H6440" will|strong="H3068" say|strong="H0559": ‘My|strong="H3068" ancestor was|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" wandering|strong="H0006" Aramean|strong="H0761". He|strong="H8033" went|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" into|strong="H4714" Egypt|strong="H4714" and|strong="H3068" stayed|strong="H1481" there|strong="H8033". When|strong="H1961" he|strong="H8033" went|strong="H3381" there|strong="H8033", he|strong="H8033" had|strong="H3068" only a|strong="H1961" few|strong="H4592" people|strong="H1471" in|strong="H0430" his|strong="H3068" family|strong="H0001". But|strong="H1961" in|strong="H0430" Egypt|strong="H4714" he|strong="H8033" became|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" great|strong="H1419" nation|strong="H1471"—a|strong="H1961" powerful|strong="H6099" nation|strong="H1471" with|strong="H3068" many|strong="H7227" people|strong="H1471".
6 The|strong="H5921" Egyptians|strong="H4713" treated|strong="H0854" us|strong="H5414" badly. They|strong="H5921" made|strong="H5414" us|strong="H5414" slaves. They|strong="H5921" hurt|strong="H6031" us|strong="H5414" and|strong="H7186" forced us|strong="H5414" to|strong="H5921" work|strong="H5656" very hard|strong="H7186".
7 Then|strong="H0853" we|strong="H8085" prayed to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068", the|strong="H0853" God|strong="H0430" of|strong="H0430" our|strong="H3068" ancestors|strong="H0001", and|strong="H3068" complained about|strong="H0413" them|strong="H0413". And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" heard|strong="H8085" us|strong="H0413". He|strong="H0430" saw|strong="H7200" our|strong="H3068" trouble|strong="H5999", our|strong="H3068" hard work|strong="H5999", and|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3068" suffering|strong="H6040".
8 Then|strong="H3318" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" brought|strong="H3318" us|strong="H3027" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H3068" Egypt|strong="H4714" with|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" power|strong="H3027" and|strong="H3068" strength|strong="H2220". He|strong="H3068" used great|strong="H1419" miracles|strong="H4159" and|strong="H3068" wonders|strong="H4159" and|strong="H3068" did amazing things|strong="H1419".
9 So|strong="H5414" he|strong="H5414" brought|strong="H0935" us|strong="H5414" to|strong="H0413" this|strong="H2088" place|strong="H4725". He|strong="H5414" gave|strong="H5414" us|strong="H5414" this|strong="H2088" land|strong="H0776"—a|strong="H5414" land|strong="H0776" filled with|strong="H0413" many good things.
10 Now|strong="H6258", LORD|strong="H3068", I|strong="H0834" bring|strong="H0935" you|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0853" first|strong="H7225" harvest|strong="H0935" from|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0127" that|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" gave|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414".’
11 Then|strong="H0859" you|strong="H0859" must have|strong="H0834" a|strong="H5414" meal together and|strong="H3068" enjoy all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" good|strong="H2896" things|strong="H3605" that|strong="H0834" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" has|strong="H3068" given|strong="H5414" to|strong="H3068" you|strong="H0859" and|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" family|strong="H1004". You|strong="H0859" must share|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414" with|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" Levites|strong="H3881" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" foreigners|strong="H1616" living among|strong="H7130" you|strong="H0859".
12 “Every|strong="H3605" third|strong="H7992" year|strong="H8141" is|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" Year|strong="H8141" of|strong="H8141" Tithes|strong="H4643". In|strong="H8141" that|strong="H3588" year|strong="H8141", you|strong="H3588" must|strong="H0853" give|strong="H5414" one-tenth of|strong="H8141" your|strong="H3605" harvest|strong="H8393" to|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3605" Levites|strong="H3881", to|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3605" foreigners|strong="H1616" living in|strong="H8141" your|strong="H3605" country, and|strong="H0398" to|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3605" widows|strong="H0490" and|strong="H0398" orphans|strong="H3490". Then|strong="H0853" they|strong="H3588" will|strong="H5414" have|strong="H7646" plenty|strong="H7646" to|strong="H5414" eat|strong="H0398" in|strong="H8141" every|strong="H3605" city|strong="H8179".
13 You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H1571" say|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430", ‘I|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" taken|strong="H5674" out|strong="H4480" of|strong="H1004" my|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" holy|strong="H6944" part|strong="H4480" of|strong="H1004" my|strong="H3605" harvest. I|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" given|strong="H5414" it|strong="H5414" to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H3605" Levites|strong="H3881", to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H3605" foreigners|strong="H1616", and|strong="H3068" to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H3605" orphans|strong="H3490" and|strong="H3068" widows|strong="H0490". I|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" followed all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" commands|strong="H6680" you|strong="H0834" gave|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414".

I|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" forgotten|strong="H7911" them|strong="H5414".
14 I|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" eaten|strong="H0398" this|strong="H0834" food|strong="H0398" when|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" was|strong="H0834" sad.
