3 And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord1 your God that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’
4 “Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.
5 And you shall answer and say before the Lord your God: ‘My father was a1a Syrian, babout to perish, and che went down to Egypt and dwelt there, dfew in number; and there he became a nation, egreat, mighty, and populous.
6 But the aEgyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and laid hard bondage on us.
7 aThen we cried out to the Lord God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression.
