(1) Now it shall be: when you enter the land that YHVH your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and settle in it

(2) you are to take from the premier-part of all the fruit of the soil that you produce from your land that YHVH your God is giving you; you are to put it in a basket and are to go to the place that YHVH your God chooses to have his name dwell.

(3) You are to come to the priest that is (there) in those days, and you are to say to him: "I announce today to YHVH your God that I have entered the land that YHVH swore to our fathers, to give us."

(4) Then the priest is to take the basket from your hand and is to deposit it before the slaughter-site of YHVH your God.

(5) And you are to speak up and say, before the presence of YHVH your God: "An Aramean Astray my Ancestor/an Aramean sought to destroy my Ancestor; he went down to Egypt and sojourned there, as menfolk few-in-number, but he became there a great nation, great, mighty, and many.

(6) Now the Egyptians dealt-ill with us and afflicted us, and placed upon us hard servitude.

(7) We cried out to YHVH, the God of our fathers, and YHVH hearkened to our voice: he saw our affliction, and our strain, and our oppression,

(8) and YHVH took us out from Egypt, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, with great awe-inspiring and with signs and portents,

(9) and he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

(10) So now--here, I have brought the premier-part of the fruits of the soil that you have given me, O YHVH!"
