Indeed, I brought you up(A) from the land of Egypt
and redeemed you(B) from that place of slavery.(C)
I sent Moses,(D) Aaron, and Miriam(E) ahead of you.
My people,
remember what Balak king of Moab(F) proposed,
what Balaam son of Beor answered him,(G)
and what happened from the Acacia Grove[a](H) to Gilgal(I)
so that you may acknowledge
the Lord’s righteous acts.(J)

What should I bring before the Lord(K)
when I come to bow before God on high?
Should I come before Him with burnt offerings,(L)
with year-old calves?

Remember your journey from Shittim(G) to Gilgal,(H)

With what shall I come before(J) the Lord
    and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with calves a year old?(K)
