Deuteronomy 26:7 In-Context

5 “You must then say in the presence of the LORD your God, ‘My ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived few in number, but in Egypt they became a large and mighty nation.

6 When the Egyptians oppressed and humiliated us by making us their slaves,

7 we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors. He heard our cries and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression.

8 So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and powerful arm, with overwhelming terror, and with miraculous signs and wonders.

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