3 And you shall go to the priest who is in office in those days, and you shall say, ‘I declare today to Yahweh your God that I have come into the land that Yahweh swore to our ancestors to give to us.’
4 Then the priest takes the basket from your hand and places it before the altar of Yahweh your God.
5 And you shall declare and you shall say before your God, ‘My ancestor was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt, and there he dwelt as an alien few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and numerous.
6 And the Egyptians treated us badly, and they oppressed us and imposed on us hard labor.
7 And we cried to Yahweh, the God of our ancestors, and Yahweh heard our voice and saw our affliction and our toil and our oppression.
8 And Yahweh brought us out from Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror and with signs and with wonders.
9 And he brought us to this place and gave to us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
