Gen Z: Deuteronomy 26
1When you roll into the land the Lord’s giving you as your vibe, and you claim it and chill there;
2You gotta grab the first of all the fruits from your land that the Lord’s blessed you with, put it in a basket, and hit up the spot where the Lord’s name is lit.
3Then go to the priest and say, “Yo, I’m here to flex that I made it to the land the Lord promised our fam.”
4The priest will take the basket from you and drop it before the altar of the Lord, no cap.
5You’ll say to the Lord, “My dad was a Syrian who was struggling, he dipped to Egypt with a few peeps, and became a whole nation, big and strong.”
6The Egyptians treated us like trash, made us work hard, and it was a whole struggle.
7When we cried out to the Lord, He heard us, saw our struggles, and felt our pain.
8The Lord pulled us out of Egypt with mad power and epic signs, straight up wonder vibes.
9He brought us to this place and gave us a land that’s straight-up flowing with milk and honey, fr.
10And now, check it, I brought the firstfruits of the land you blessed me with, Lord. I’m setting it before you and worshipping, periodt.
11You gotta vibe and celebrate every good thing the Lord’s given you and your crew, including the Levite and the outsiders among you.
12When you finish tithing all your gains in the third year, give it to the Levite, the strangers, the orphans, and the widows, so they can eat and be satisfied.
13Then say to the Lord, “I’ve taken the holy stuff from my house and given it to the Levite, the strangers, the orphans, and the widows, following all your rules, no cap.”
14I didn’t eat any of it while grieving, didn’t use it for anything sus, or give it for the dead; I listened to the Lord and did everything you said.
15Look down from your holy crib in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you promised us, a place flowing with milk and honey.
16Today, the Lord’s told you to keep these rules and judgments; you gotta do them with all your heart and soul, fam.
17You’ve chosen the Lord today to be your God, to walk in His ways, keep His rules, and listen to His voice, for real.
18The Lord’s chosen you today to be His special people, just like He promised, and you gotta keep all His commands.
19He’s gonna make you high above all nations He’s created, in praise, name, and honor; you’ll be a holy people to the Lord, just like He said.
