Deuteronomy 26:4-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. And the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.

5. And you shall say before the Lord your God, A wandering and lost Aramean ready to perish was my father [Jacob], and he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

6. And the Egyptians treated us very badly and afflicted us and laid upon us hard bondage.

7. And when we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our [cruel] oppression;

8. And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, and with great (awesome) power and with signs and with wonders;

9. And He brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10. And now, behold, I bring the firstfruits of the ground which You, O Lord, have given me. And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God;

11. And you and the Levite and the stranger and the sojourner among you shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.
