The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 26

1: And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

2: That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

3: And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day untothe LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.

4: And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.

5: And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

6: And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

7: And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and ouroppression:

8: And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

9: And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

10: And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:

11: And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given untothee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that isamong you.

12: When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year,which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger,the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

13: Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments whichthou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither haveI forgotten them.

14: I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hastcommanded me.

15: Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, andthe land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

16: This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thineheart, and with all thy soul.

17: Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

18: And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

19: And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and thatthou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
