plantings in the new land– Set it near the altar
• Words of thanks and praise to be given (vs. 5-10)– Upon delivering the first fruits and tithes, Israel is to
give a confession of thanksgiving to God– Remembers the history of Israel from the time of

the law– Directed to write all the words of the law on stones
