  • Numbers 15:2
    “ Say to the Israelites,‘ You are going to enter the land I am giving you as a home.
  • Deuteronomy 26:1-15
    You will enter the land the Lord your God is giving you as your own. You will take it over. You will make your homes in the land.When you do, get some of the first share of everything your soil produces. Put it in a basket. It’s from the land the Lord your God is giving you. Take your gifts and go to the special place he will choose. He will put his Name there.Speak to the priest in office at that time. Tell him,“ I announce today to the Lord your God that I have come to this land. It’s the land he promised to give us. He promised it to our people of long ago.”The priest will receive the basket from you. He’ll set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.Then you will speak while the Lord is listening. You will say,“ My father Jacob was a wanderer from the land of Aram. He went down into Egypt with a few people. He lived there and became the father of a great nation. It had huge numbers of people.But the people of Egypt treated us badly. They made us suffer. They made us work very hard.Then we cried out to the Lord. He is the God of our people who lived long ago. He heard our voice. He saw how much we were suffering. The Egyptians were treating us badly. They were making us work very hard.So the Lord used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring us out of Egypt. He did great and terrifying things. He did signs and amazing things.He brought us to this place. He gave us this land. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey.Now, Lord, I’m bringing you the first share of crops from the soil. After all, you have given them to me.” Place the basket in front of the Lord your God. Bow down to him.Then you and the Levites and the outsiders among you will be full of joy. You will enjoy all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your family.You will set apart a tenth of everything you produce in the third year. That’s the year for giving the tenth to people who have greater needs. You will give it to the Levites, outsiders and widows. You will also give it to children whose fathers have died. Then all of them will have plenty to eat in your towns.Speak to the Lord your God. Say to him,“ I have taken your sacred share from my house. I have given it to the Levites, outsiders and widows. I have also given it to children whose fathers have died. I’ve done everything you commanded me to do. I haven’t stopped obeying your commands. I haven’t forgotten any of them.I haven’t eaten any part of your sacred share while I mourned over someone who had died. I haven’t taken any of it from my house while I was‘ unclean.’ And I haven’t offered any of it to the dead. Lord my God, I’ve obeyed you. I’ve done everything you commanded me to do.Look down from the holy place where you live in heaven. Bless your people Israel. Bless the land you have given us. It’s the land you promised to give to our people of long ago. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey.”
