He went down to Egypt with a few people and lived there. There he became a great, powerful, and populous nation.But the Egyptians mistreated and afflicted us, and forced us to do hard labor.So we called out to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our cry and saw our misery, hardship, and oppression.Then the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with terrifying power, and with signs and wonders.He led us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.I have now brought the first of the land’s produce that You, Lord, have given me. You will then place the container before the Lord your God and bow down to Him.
