5. Then you must affirm before the Lord your God, “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor, and he went down to Egypt and lived there as a foreigner with a household few in number, but there he became a great, powerful, and numerous people.
6. But the Egyptians mistreated and oppressed us, forcing us to do burdensome labor.
7. So we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and he heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression.
8. Therefore the Lord brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.
9. Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10. So now, look! I have brought the first of the ground’s produce that you, Lord, have given me.” Then you must set it down before the Lord your God and worship before him.
11. You will celebrate all the good things that the Lord your God has given you and your family, along with the Levites and the resident foreigners among you.
12. When you finish tithing all your income in the third year (the year of tithing), you must give it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows so that they may eat to their satisfaction in your villages.
