Deuteronomio 26:2

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.

Ver. 2. Thou shalt take of the first, &c.] In token of homage, or as a chief rent due to God the true proprietary, of whom they held all.
