Deuteronomy 26:5 in Context — Deuteronomy 26

3 Tu te présenteras au sacrificateur alors en fonction, et tu lui diras: Je déclare aujourd’hui à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, que je suis entré dans le pays que l’Éternel a juré à nos pères de nous donner.

4 Le sacrificateur recevra la corbeille de ta main, et la déposera devant l’autel de l’Éternel, ton Dieu.

5 Tu prendras encore la parole, et tu diras devant l’Éternel, ton Dieu: Mon père était un Araméen nomade; il descendit en Égypte avec peu de gens, et il y fixa son séjour; là, il devint une nation grande, puissante et nombreuse.

6 Les Égyptiens nous maltraitèrent et nous opprimèrent, et ils nous soumirent à une dure servitude.

7 Nous criâmes à l’Éternel, le Dieu de nos pères. L’Éternel entendit notre voix, et il vit notre oppression, nos peines et nos misères.
