Deuteronomy 26

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.

KJV: Deuteronomy 26

1And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

2That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.

3And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come unto the country which the Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us.

4And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.

5And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

6And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

7And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

8And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

9And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

10And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:

11And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.

12When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

13Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

14I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

15Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

16This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

17Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

18And the Lord hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

19And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
