Deuteronomy 26:6

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.

8 So ^athe Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, ^bwith great terror and with signs and wonders.

9 He has brought us to this place and has given us this land, ^a“a land flowing with milk and honey”;

10 and now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which you, O Lord, have given me.’ “Then you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God.
