Deuteronomy 26:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 26.
1 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle in it,
2 you are to take some of the firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,
3 to the priest who is serving at that time, and say to him, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have entered the land that the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 Then the priest shall take the basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the LORD your God,
5 and you are to declare before the LORD your God, “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.
6 But the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us, putting us to hard labor.
7 So we called out to the LORD, the God of our fathers; and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, toil, and oppression.
