1The LORD is giving you the land, and soon you will conquer it, settle down,
2and plant crops. And when you begin harvesting each of your crops, the very first things you pick must be put in a basket. Take them to the place where the LORD your God chooses to be worshipped, But every third year, this ten per cent must be given to the poor who live in your town, including Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows. That way, they will have enough to eat. And none of it has been offered as a sacrifice to the spirits of the dead. I have done everything exactly as you commanded.
15Our LORD, look down from your temple in heaven and bless your people Israel. You promised our ancestors that you would give us this land rich with milk and honey, and you have kept your promise.
The LORD is your God, and you are his peopleMoses said to Israel:16Today the LORD your God has commanded you to obey these laws and teachings with all your heart and soul.
17In response, you have agreed that the LORD will be your God, that you will obey all his laws and teachings, and that you will listen when he speaks to you.
18Since you have agreed to obey the LORD, he has agreed that you will be his people and that you will belong to him, just as he promised.Ex 19.5; Dt 4.20; 7.6; 14.2; Titus 2.14; 1 P 2.9.
19The LORD created all nations, but he will make you more famous than any of them, and you will receive more praise and honour. You will belong only to the LORD your God, just as he promised.
