5 Then there before the Lord your God you will say: ‘My ancestor was a wandering Aramean. He went down into Egypt and stayed there. When he went there, he had only a few people in his family. But in Egypt he became a great nation—a powerful nation with many people.
6 The Egyptians treated us badly. They made us slaves. They hurt us and forced us to work very hard.
7 Then we prayed to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and complained about them. And the Lord heard us. He saw our trouble, our hard work, and our suffering.
8 Then the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his great power and strength. He used great miracles and wonders and did amazing things.
9 So he brought us to this place. He gave us this land—a land filled with many good things.
10 Now, Lord, I bring you the first harvest from the land that you gave me.’ “Then you must put the harvest down before the Lord your God and bow down to worship him.
11 Then you must have a meal together and enjoy all the good things that the Lord your God has given to you and your family. You must share them with the Levites and the foreigners living among you.
