And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, ^xfew in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. 6 And ^ythe Egyptians treated us harshly and humiliated us and laid on us hard labor. 7 Then ^zwe cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. 8 And ^aathe Lord brought us out of Egypt ^abwith a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, ^{▼▼Hebrew with great terror} with signs and wonders. 9 And he brought us into this place and gave us this land, ^ada land flowing with milk and honey. 10 And behold, now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, O Lord, have given me.’ And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God. 11 And ^aeyou shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is among you.

I have not transgressed any of your commandments, ^ahnor have I forgotten them. 14 ^aiI have not eaten of the tithe while I was mourning, or removed any of it while I was unclean, or offered any of it ^ajto the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God. I have done according to all that you have commanded me. 15 ^akLook down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel and the ground that you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
