Deuteronomy 26:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ Then you must answer and say before the Lord your God, “A wandering Aramean^[a] was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with only a few in number, but there he became a great, mighty, and populous nation. ⁶ However, the Egyptians mistreated and afflicted us, and laid upon us harsh labor. ⁷ And when we cried to the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, our labor, and our oppression.
