Deu 26:5-6 | MHM | STEP | v. 5-6 : The offerer was also to remember Israel’s humble beginnings. They were to confess that their ancestor, Jacob, was “a Syrian ready to perish,” because he lived in Padan-Aram and faced many dangers. The Israelites also had to remember that their nation started as slaves in Egypt and was treated very badly. They had no right to be proud or to forget God, since their blessings came from Him alone (Deuteronomy 26:5-6 ).
