1 Kaj kiam vi venos en la landon, kiun la Eternulo, via Dio, donas al vi kiel posedajxon, kaj vi ekposedos gxin kaj enlogxigxos en gxi:

2 tiam prenu el la unuaj el cxiuj fruktoj de la tero, kiujn vi ricevos de via tero, kiun la Eternulo, via Dio, donas al vi, kaj metu en korbon, kaj iru al la loko, kiun la Eternulo, via Dio, elektos, por logxigi tie Sian nomon;

3 kaj venu al la pastro, kiu estos en tiu tempo, kaj diru al li:Mi sciigas hodiaux antaux la Eternulo, via Dio, ke mi eniris en la landon, pri kiu la Eternulo jxuris al niaj patroj, ke Li donos gxin al ni.

4 Kaj la pastro prenos la korbon el via mano, kaj metos gxin antaux la altaron de la Eternulo, via Dio.

5 Kaj vi ekparolos, kaj diros antaux la Eternulo, via Dio:Vaganta Siriano estis mia patro, kaj li foriris en Egiptujon kaj enlogxigxis tie fremdule kun malmulte da homoj, kaj farigxis tie popolo granda, forta, kaj multenombra;

6 kaj la Egiptoj agis malbone kontraux ni kaj premis nin kaj metis sur nin malfacilan laboron;

7 kaj ni ekkriis al la Eternulo, la Dio de niaj patroj, kaj la Eternulo auxskultis nian vocxon kaj vidis nian mizeron kaj nian laboradon kaj nian prematecon;

8 kaj la Eternulo elkondukis nin el Egiptujo per mano forta kaj per brako etendita kaj per granda teruro kaj per signoj kaj mirakloj;

9 kaj Li venigis nin al cxi tiu loko kaj donis al ni cxi tiun landon, landon, en kiu fluas lakto kaj mielo;

10 kaj nun jen mi alportis la unuajn fruktojn de la tero, kiun Vi donis al mi, ho Eternulo. Kaj vi metos tion antaux la Eternulon, vian Dion, kaj vi adorklinigxos antaux la Eternulo, via Dio.

11 Kaj vi estos gaja pro la tuta bono, kiun donis la Eternulo, via Dio, al vi kaj al via domo, vi, kaj la Levido, kaj la fremdulo, kiu logxas inter vi.

12 Kiam vi finos la apartigadon de cxiuj dekonajxoj el viaj produktajxoj en la tria jaro, la jaro de la dekonajxoj, kaj vi fordonos al la Levido kaj al la fremdulo, al la orfo kaj al la vidvino, por ke ili mangxu inter viaj pordegoj kaj satigxu:

13 tiam diru antaux la Eternulo, via Dio:Mi forigis la sanktigitajxon el la domo, kaj mi donis gxin al la Levido kaj al la fremdulo, al la orfo kaj al la vidvino, tute laux Via ordono, kiun Vi faris al mi; mi ne transpasxis Viajn ordonojn kaj mi ne forgesis;

14 mi ne mangxis el gxi en la tagoj de mia malgxojo, kaj mi ne apartigis el gxi en stato de malpureco, kaj mi ne donis el gxi por mortinto; mi auxskultis la vocxon de la Eternulo, mia Dio; mi faris konforme al cxio, kion Vi ordonis al mi.

15 Ekrigardu el Via sankta logxejo, el la cxielo, kaj benu Vian popolon Izrael, kaj la teron, kiun Vi donis al ni, kiel Vi jxuris al niaj patroj, la landon, en kiu fluas lakto kaj mielo.

16 En la hodiauxa tago la Eternulo, via Dio, ordonas al vi plenumi cxi tiujn legxojn kaj regulojn; kaj observu kaj plenumu ilin per via tuta koro kaj per via tuta animo.

17 Al la Eternulo vi promesis hodiaux, ke Li estos via Dio, kaj ke vi iros laux Liaj vojoj kaj observos Liajn legxojn kaj Liajn ordonojn kaj Liajn decidojn kaj auxskultos Lian vocxon.

18 Kaj la Eternulo promesis al vi hodiaux, ke vi estos al Li popolo propra, kiel Li diris al vi, se vi observos cxiujn Liajn ordonojn;

19 kaj ke Li starigos vin pli alte ol cxiuj popoloj, kiujn Li kreis, en honoro, gloro, kaj majesto, kaj ke vi estos popolo sankta al la Eternulo, via Dio, kiel Li diris.

901. 'The twenty-seventh day' means that which is holy. This is clear from what has been said above, for it is the composite number that is obtained when three is cubed - that is, three multiplied by three making nine, and nine multiplied by three again making twenty-seven. The predominant factor in this number therefore is three. This was how the most ancient people calculated numbers and by means of them meant nothing else than real things. That 'three' has the same meaning as seven becomes clear from what has been stated already just above. A hidden reason why it does so is that the Lord rose on the third day. The Lord's resurrection itself comprehends all that is holy, and the resurrection of all men. This was why in the Jewish Church this number became representative, and why in the Word it is a holy number. It is similar in heaven where no numbers are envisaged. Instead of three and seven they have a general holy idea of the resurrection and of the Coming of the Lord.

[2] That 'three' and 'seven' mean what is holy is clear from the following places in the Word: In Moses,

Anyone touching a dead body will be unclean for seven days. He shall purify himself on the third day, and on the seventh day he will be clean. And if he does not purify himself on the third day then he will not be clean on the seventh day. He who touches one pierced by the sword, or one dead, or a human bone, or a sepulchre will be unclean for seven days. The one who is clean shall sprinkle [with hyssop] over the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify him, and he [the unclean] shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and will be clean in the evening. Numbers 19:11, 11, 16, 19.

Quite clearly these requirements are representative, that is, things of an external nature meaning those that are internal. Take for example the fact that anyone was unclean who had touched one who had died, or one pierced [by the sword], or a human bone, or a sepulchre. Each of these objects means in the internal sense things that are a person's own, which are dead and unholy. So too with the requirement that he had to bathe himself in water and would be clean in the evening. And the third day and the seventh day were in like manner representative. They mean that which is holy because these were the days when he was to be purified and so be cleansed.

[3] The same usage occurs in the reference to the men coming back from the battle with the Midianites, who were told,

Camp outside the camp for seven days. Every one of you who has killed someone 1 and every one who has touched one slain 2 shall purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day. Numbers 31:19.

If this were just a ceremonial observance and the third and the seventh days were not representative and symbolical of that which is holy, that is, of purification, it would be something dead. It would be something without a cause and a cause without an end in view. That is, it would be like that which has been severed from its cause and its cause from its end in view; and so there would be nothing Divine about it at all. That the third day was representative of, and so symbolized, that which is holy, is quite clear from the Lord's coming down on Mount Sinai, concerning which event the following command was given, Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and make them holy today and tomorrow, in order that they may wash their garments and be ready on the third day, for on the third day Jehovah will come down on Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people. Exodus 19:10-11, 15-16.

[4] The same usage occurs in Joshua's crossing the Jordan on the third day,

Joshua commanded, Pass through the middle of the camp, and command the people saying, Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will be crossing this Jordan to go and take possession of the land. 'The crossing of the Jordan' represented the introduction of the children of Israel, that is, of the regenerate, into the Lord's kingdom, 'Joshua', who led them in, representing the Lord Himself. And this took place 'on the third day'. Because the third day, like the seventh, was holy it was stipulated that the third year should be a year of taking tithes 3 and in that year people should be holy in their conduct by performing charitable works, Deuteronomy 26:12 and following verses. 'Tithes' 3 represented remnants, which are holy because they are the Lord's alone. Jonah's presence in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, Jonah 1:17, clearly represented the Lord's burial and His resurrection on the third day, Matthew 12:40.

[5] That 'three' means that which is holy is also clear in the Prophets, as in Hosea,

Jehovah will revive us after two days, on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him. Hosea 6:2.

Here too 'the third day' clearly stands for the Lord's Coming, and for His resurrection. In Zechariah,

It will happen in all the land that two parts in it will be cut off and breathe their last, and a third will be left in it. And I will lead the third part through fire, and I will refine them as one refines silver, and test them as one tests gold. Zechariah 13:8-9.

Here 'a third part' or three stands for that which is holy. A third embodies the same as three, and so does the third of a third, as in the present verse, for three is the cube root of twenty-seven.
