About [for to give us]

Deuteronomy 26:3

And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers [for to give us].

Hi,

[which the Lord sware unto our fatehers for to give us] -----the Lord sware unto our faters which for to give us

[which for to give us]------which stands for the country that should give us;

Could any native speaker tell me it is correct or not?

Thank you for your assistance.
