5. Then you shall announce before the Lord your God: “My father was a wandering Aramean. He went down to Egypt with only a few people, but they became a great, powerful, and large nation there.
6. But the Egyptians were cruel to us, making us suffer and work very hard.
7. So we prayed to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and he heard us. When he saw our trouble, hard work, and suffering,
8. the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his great power and strength, using great terrors, signs, and miracles.
9. Then he brought us to this place and gave us this fertile land.
