Deuteronomy 26:5-7

21st Century King James Version

⁵ “And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God: ‘A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

⁶ And the Egyptians evilly treated us and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.

⁷ And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression.
