A #chiasm in #deuteronomy 26:1-2 is centered on the firstfuits offering and bracketed by gratitude toward the God who made the offering possible.
.When you come into the land
...YHWH gave you
.....You have taken the land
.......Firstfruit of the ground
.....You harvest the land
...YHWH is giving you
.Take to the place in the land
This passage is also the first part of an overlapping parallelism that extends through v4:
.v1-2 - When you come in
...Firstfruits in a basket
......Go to the place YHWH will put his name
.v3-4 - I have come in
...Priest takes the basket
......Set the basket before the altar of YHWH

One who is full loathes honeycomb, but to one who is hungry every bitter thing is sweet.
Proverbs 27:7 TLV
People who think they are enough or have enough give up trying and they miss out on many good things in life. Ambition is just another word for motivation, and a little deprivation and hardship will motivate someone to improve himself, work harder.
This can be interpreted in the opposite direction also. If your heart and life are full of healthy, fulfilling relationships and activities, it is harder for temptations to find a hold on you. It's not enough to avoid things that bring temptation. You need to fill those gaps with things that bring true happiness.
This week's #torah reading is Ki Tavo (#deuteronomy 26:1-29:9), which means "when you come in". Here's a list of apostolic passages to study alongside Parsha #kitavo, with corresponding commentary and video teachings: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/03/21/parsha-ki

I believe Yeshua will return on that feast and that His children will throw a celebratory feast on that day. I say that as the instruction is to shout and blow [the trumpet]. There are no other instructions that I can recall, so it is a day of rejoicing. This picture reminds me of a great gathering and people joyfully celebrating an event. Our "event" will be seeing Yeshua arrive in a cloud with thunder; from the east to the west.
We will then keep Atonement thereafter to cleanse us as a people and then on Sukkot He will lead us out.
