    Deuteronomy 26:5-10

    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 evil entreated 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 labour, and our oppression:

    8 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:

    9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

    10 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:
