³ and say to the priest in office at the time, “I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the land the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” ⁴ The priest shall take the basket from your hands and set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God. ⁵ Then you shall declare before the Lord your God: “My father was a wandering^(A) Aramean,^(B) and he went down into Egypt with a few people^(C) and lived there and became a great nation,^(D) powerful and numerous. ⁶ But the Egyptians mistreated us and made us suffer,^(E) subjecting us to harsh labor.^{(F) 7} Then we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice^(G) and saw^(H) our misery,^(I) toil and oppression.^{(J) 8} So the Lord brought us out of Egypt^(K) with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,^(L) with great terror and with signs and wonders.^{(M) 9} He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey;^{(N) 10} and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, Lord, have given me.^(O)” Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him.
