Deuteronomy 26:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ⁶ But the Egyptian people were cruel to us. They made us work very hard for them.
