Deuteronomy 26:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Go to the priest who has authority at that time. Say to him, ‘Today, I say to the Lord our God that I am now living in the land that he promised to us. He made that promise to our ancestors.’

⁴ Then the priest will take the basket from you. He will put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God. ⁵ Then you must say this, so that the Lord your God hears you: ‘My ancestor was an Aramean who moved from place to place. He went to Egypt to live there as a foreigner. At that time, his family was small. But while he lived in Egypt, his family became a great nation of many powerful people.
