Ulangan 26:1

Presentation of the First Fruits

26:1 When ¹  you enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you occupy it and live in it,

Ulangan 26:3

26:3 You must go to the priest in office at that time and say to him, “I declare today to the Lord your ²  God that I have come into the land that the Lord ³  promised ⁴  to our ancestors ⁵  to give us.”

Ulangan 26:9-10

26:9 Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. 26:10 So now, look! I have brought the first of the ground’s produce that you, Lord, have given me.” Then you must set it down before the Lord your God and worship before him. ⁶ 

[26:1]  ¹ tn Heb “and it will come to pass that.”

[26:3]  ² tc For the MT reading “your God,” certain LXX mss have “my God,” a contextually superior rendition followed by some English versions (e.g., NAB, NASB, TEV). Perhaps the text reflects dittography of the kaf (כ) at the end of the word with the following preposition כִּי (ki).

[26:3]  ³ tc The Syriac adds “your God” to complete the usual formula.

[26:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “swore on oath.”

[26:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 7, 15).

[26:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 26:2.
