And thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
And thou schalt speke in þe siyt of thi Lord God, Sirus pursuede my fadir, which fadir yede doun in to Egipt, and was a pilgrym þere in feweste noumbre; and he encreesside in to a greet folk, and strong, and of multitude without noumbre.
