Deuteronomy 26:5-9

5Then 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.

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

7So we prayed to the Lord, the God of our ancestors. He heard our prayers. He saw that we were in trouble. He saw that we had to do very hard work for cruel people.

8So the Lord used his great strength and power to bring us out of Egypt. He did powerful miracles which caused the Egyptians to be afraid.

9Then he brought us to this place. He gave us this land where there is plenty of food and drink, enough for everyone.
