4 The priest will take your basket and set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.
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.
10 Now I bring part of the first harvest from this land that you, Lord, have given me.” Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him.
