Deuteronomy 26:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Then 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. ⁶ But the Egyptian people were cruel to us. They made us work very hard for them. ⁷ So 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.
