New Living Translation (NLT)
Deuteronomy 25
16 All who cheat with dishonest weights and measures are detestable to the LORD your God.
17 “Never forget what the Amalekites did to you as you came from Egypt.
18 They attacked you when you were exhausted and weary, and they struck down those who were straggling behind. They had no fear of God.
19 Therefore, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies in the land he is giving you as a special possession, you must destroy the Amalekites and erase their memory from under heaven. Never forget this!
Deuteronomy 26
1 “When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you as a special possession and you have conquered it and settled there,
2 put some of the first produce from each crop you harvest into a basket and bring it to the designated place of worship—the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to be honored.
3 Go to the priest in charge at that time and say to him, ‘With this gift I acknowledge to the LORD your God that I have entered the land he swore to our ancestors he would give us.’
4 The priest will then take the basket from your hand and set it before the altar of the LORD your God.
5 “You must then say in the presence of the LORD your God, ‘My ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived few in number, but in Egypt they became a large and mighty nation.
6 When the Egyptians oppressed and humiliated us by making us their slaves,
7 we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors. He heard our cries and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
