Tosefta for Numbers 10:32
וְהָיָ֖ה כִּי־תֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֑נוּ וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ הַטּ֣וֹב הַה֗וּא אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֵיטִ֧יב יְהוָ֛ה עִמָּ֖נוּ וְהֵטַ֥בְנוּ לָֽךְ׃
And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.’
Tosefta Bikkurim
Rabbi Yehuda says, [among] all the converts, everyone brings [first fruits] but they do not recite the declaration. [However,] the Kenites, the descendants of the father-in-law of Moses (Judges 1:16), bring [first fruits] and recite the declaration, as it is said (Num. 10:32), "[Moses said to Hovav, son of R'uel the Midyanite, Moses's father-in-law] ... It will be that if you go with us ... [from the goodness that God does to us, we will do good unto you]."
