Deuteronomy 26:5-7

Tree of Life Version

⁵ “Then you are to respond before Adonai your God, ‘My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt and lived there as an outsider, few in number. But there he became a great nation—mighty and numerous. ⁶ The Egyptians treated us badly, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us. ⁷ Then we cried out to Adonai, God of our fathers, and Adonai listened to our voice and saw our affliction, our toil and our oppression.
