Words to you, O group of those present, and to everyone who is
absent from those present: we tell you about what
happened and occurred in the time of our fathers and our past grandfathers:
What happened to them in the land of Egypt regarding the slavery
in which they were enslaved under Pharaoh the wicked, and how
the Lord of the Worlds, Holy is He, heard their prayer and their cry
and sent Moses and everyone who was with him:
These are the ten plagues that descended upon Egypt,
and each one of them was more severe than the other, and how
each one of them distinguished between Israel and between Egypt, as it is
written in the Holy Torah:

Yossi the Galilean says: From where do you say that
the Egyptians were struck in Egypt with ten plagues, and at the sea they were struck
with fifty plagues? In Egypt, what does it say? "Then the magicians said
unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God." And at the sea, what does it say? "And Israel saw
the great hand which the Lord laid upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the Lord,
and they believed in the Lord, and in His servant Moses."

We descended to the Egyptians with ten good tidings and we went out from there, as His name is blessed
a double blessing and this death. This is said: the gardeners who went out before us in the
former time shall stand. At this, it says: and to each one of them, whose right hand shall plead
so and so, and likewise the congregation says with him, each one of them

on Passover except he ate the Passover offering which was eaten during the time when the
Holy Temple stood. For what reason? For the reason that the Holy One, Blessed be He, passed
over the houses of our ancestors in Egypt, as it is said: "And you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover,
who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the
Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped."
Rabbi Mattia ben Heresh says: Anyone who has not said these three
things on Passover has not fulfilled his obligation, and these are they: Passover,
Matzah, and Maror. The Passover offering that our ancestors used to eat when the Holy
Temple stood, for what reason? For the reason that the Holy One, Blessed be
He, passed over the houses of our ancestors in Egypt, as it is said: "And you shall say, It is the sacrifice
of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt,
when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped."

Rabbi Shimon says: Three who have eaten
at a table and did not say over it words of Torah, it is as if
they ate from sacrifices to the dead, as it is said: 'For all tables
are full of vomit and filth, without the Omnipresent.' But three who have eaten
at one table and said over it words of Torah, it is as if
they ate from the table of the Omnipresent, Blessed be He, as it is said:
'And he spoke to me: This is the table which is before the Lord.'
Rabbi Akiva says: Anyone who does not visit

the Holy One, blessed be He, and redeemed them immediately, as it is said: And they baked
the dough which they brought out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened,
because they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.

In every generation, a person is obligated to show himself as if he went out:

this that we eat, for what reason?
Because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our fathers in Egypt,
as it is said: And they embittered their lives with hard labor, with mortar and bricks,
and with all manner of labor in the field; all their labor which they made them serve was with rigor:
In every
generation, a person is obligated to thank, to praise, to laud,
to glorify, to exalt, to honor, to bless, to extol, and to adore Him who performed
all these miracles for our fathers and for us; He brought us out from slavery
to freedom, from sorrow to joy, from mourning to a festival, from darkness to a great light,
and from subjugation to redemption; and let us say before Him, Hallelujah:

This is to say: because of this God acted for me in my going out from Egypt
Not our ancestors alone did the Holy One, blessed be He, redeem
Not our fathers alone did God Almighty save

But even us He saved with them as He said: and us He brought out from there
