Deuteronomy 26:7 In-Context

5 You will make this formal statement in the presence of the LORD your God: "My ancestors were wandering Arameans. There were only a few of them when they went to Egypt and lived as foreigners. But then they became a great, powerful, and large nation.

6 So the Egyptians treated us cruelly, oppressed us, and made us do back-breaking work for them.

7 We cried out to the LORD God of our ancestors, and he heard us. He saw our misery, suffering, and oppression.

8 Then the LORD used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring us out of Egypt. He used spectacular and awe-inspiring deeds, miraculous signs, and amazing things.

9 He brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey.
