⁵ Then you will respond and say in the presence of the Lord your God, “My father was a wandering^[a] Aramean. He went down to Egypt and lived there as an alien with just a few people, but there he became a great, strong, and populous nation. ⁶ The Egyptians mistreated and afflicted us. They imposed hard labor on us. ⁷ We cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice, and he saw our affliction, our labor, and oppression.
