Deuteronomy 26:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. When you have come into the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you as a heritage, and have taken possession and settled in it,

2. you shall take some first fruits of the various products of the soil which you harvest from the land the Lord, your God, is giving you; put them in a basket and go to the place which the Lord, your God, will choose as the dwelling place for his name.

3. There you shall go to the priest in office at that time and say to him, “Today I acknowledge to the Lord, my God, that I have indeed come into the land which the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.”

4. The priest shall then take the basket from your hands and set it in front of the altar of the Lord, your God.
