| [4]And the preest schal take the panyere of thin hond, and schal sette bifor the auter of thi Lord God. |

[5]And you shall speak and say before the LORD your God, My father was led to Aram and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there for a short time, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous; |
| [6]And Egipcians turmentiden vs, and pursueden, and puttiden greuouseste birthuns. |
[6]And the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us and laid upon us hard work; |
| [7]And we crieden to the Lord God of oure fadris, which herde vs, and bihelde oure mekenesse, and trauel, and angwischis; |
[7]And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our labor, and our oppression; |
| [8]and he ledde vs out of Egipt in myyti hond, and arm holdun forth, in grete drede, in myraclis, and grete wondris, |

| [9]and ledde vs in to this place; and yaf to vs a lond flowynge with mylk and hony. |
[9]And we came to this place, and the LORD has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. |

[10]And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me; and you shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship there before the LORD your God; |

[11]And you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given to you and to your house, you and the Levite and the sojourner that is among you |
| [12]Whanne thou hast fillid the tithe of alle thi fruytis, in the thridde yeer of tithis, thou schalt yyue to the dekene, and to the comelyng, and to the fadirles, ether modirles child, and to widewe, that thei ete with ynne thi yatis, and be fillid. |
[12]When you have finished tithing all the tithes of your produce in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your towns and be filled; |
| [13]And thou schalt speke in the siyt of thi Lord God, Y haue take awai that that is halewid of myn hows, and Y yaf it to the dekene, and to the comelyng, to the fadirles, ethir modirles child, and to the widewe, as thou comaundidist to me; Y passide not thi comaundementis, Y foryat not thin heest. |
[13]Then you shall say before the LORD your God, I have brought all the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them; |
| [14]Y ete not of tho thingis in my morenyng, nether Y departide tho in ony vnclennesse, nethir Y spendide of tho ony thing in biriyng of deed body, `that is, in makynge feestis therof in biryynge of deed men. Y obeiede to the vois of my Lord God, and Y dide alle thingis as thou comaundidist to me. |
[14]I have not eaten of them in my mourning, neither have I touched them while I was unclean, nor used any of them for funerals; but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. |
| [15]Bihold thou fro thi seyntuarie, fro the hiy dwellyng place of heuene, and blesse thou thi puple Israel, and the lond which thou hast youe to vs, as thou `hast swoore to oure fadris; the lond flowynge with mylk and hony. |

[19]And that he shall exalt you above all nations which he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken |
