Deuteronomy 26:4-7 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. Then the priest takes the basket from your hand and places it before the altar of Yahweh your God.

5. And you shall declare and you shall say before your God, ‘My ancestor was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt, and there he dwelt as an alien few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and numerous.

6. And the Egyptians treated us badly, and they oppressed us and imposed on us hard labor.

7. And we cried to Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, and Yahweh heard our voice and saw our affliction and our toil and our oppression.
