Expanded Bible

The First Harvest

26 When you go into the land the Lord your God is giving you as your ·own [^Linheritance], to ·take it over [possess it] and live in it, ² you must take some of the first harvest of crops that grow from the land the Lord your God is giving you. Put the food in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God will choose to ·be worshiped [^Lcause his name to dwell; ^CZion; 12:4–6]. ³ Go and say to the priest ·on duty at that time [in office in those days], “Today I declare before the Lord your God that I have come into the land the Lord promised our ·ancestors [fathers] that he would give us [Gen. 12:1–3].”
