Verse 5 is found in chapter 26 of Deuteronomy. The offering of firstfruits is to be presented upon entering the promised land together with a historical confession. The Israelite recalls that his ancestor was a wandering Aramean, that his descendants went down to Egypt, were oppressed, and were finally delivered by God. The agricultural offering thus becomes a confession that the land received is the result of divine action.
