Deuteronomy 26:5-9

5Then 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.

6But the Egyptians mistreated and oppressed us, forcing us to do burdensome labor.

7So we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and he heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression.

8Therefore the Lord brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.

9Then he brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
