Deuteronomy:26:5-11

*
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 :
*
And the Egyptians evil entreated us ,
and afflicted us ,
and laid upon us hard bondage :
*
And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers ,
the LORD heard our voice ,
and looked on our affliction ,
and our labour ,
and our oppression :
*
And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand ,
and with an outstretched arm ,
and with great terribleness ,
and with signs ,
and with wonders :
*
And he hath brought us into this place ,
and hath given us this land ,
even a land that floweth with milk and honey .
*
And now ,
behold ,
I have brought the firstfruits of the land ,
which thou ,
O LORD ,
hast given me .
And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God ,
and worship before the LORD thy God :
*
And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee ,
and unto thine house ,
thou ,
and the Levite ,
and the stranger that is among you .
