Our ancestors wandered from a land called Babylon. They went down to Egypt to live there for a short time, with just a few people;
but there they became a great nation with a lot of people.
The Egyptians were harsh to us and made us suffer, and forced us to work very hard.
We cried to the God of our ancestors, and God heard our voice and saw our pain, our struggle, and our suffering.
God freed us from Egypt by a strong hand, by an outstretched arm, with great power, and by signs and wonders,
And God brought us to a land flowing with milk and honey, and gave us this land.
(Deuteronomy 26 5-9; adapted by the editors of “In Every Generation: A PJ Library Family Haggadah”. Further adaptation by Noam Vinokor-Meinrath)
