Read in context

Deuteronomy 26:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
