Moses reminds the Israelites that, when they enter the Promised Land, they must bring “bikkurim”, the first produce of their fields and orchards, to the Holy Temple to express their gratitude to God for all God does and has done for them.

Ten percent of their crops are to be given to the Levites, the stranger, the orphan and the widow. Moses tells the Israelites that if they obey God’s mitzvot faithfully, they will receive many blessings. However, if they do not fulfil their covenant with God, many curses will descend upon them.

Moses again reminds the Israelites of the miracles they witnessed in the wilderness and commands them to observe God’s laws so that they may succeed in everything they undertake.
