One then dips the vegetable in the charoset and eats the volume of an average olive.  After the feast, after eating a final volume of an average olive of matzah, one may not taste anything at all.  However, at this point, it is not prohibited to eat all sorts of delicacies and toasted nuts and drinks, as one does on the Sabbath, in order to increase the number of blessings said, and to fortify oneself for the telling of the story of the Exodus.  After eating the dipped vegetable and the appetizers, one must bless final blessings as appropriate to the type of food one was eating, if one does not intend to eat during the telling of the story.

In haste we left Egypt.  This is the bread of affliction, which our ancestors who left the land of Egypt ate.  Whoever is hungry, let him come and eat; whoever is in need of a Passover Seder, let him come and celebrate with us.  This year we are here; next year, may we be in the Land of Israel.  This year we are slaves; next year, may we be free men.

What distinguishes this night from all other nights?  On all other nights, we do not dip even once; but tonight, we dip twice.  On all other nights, we eat leavened bread and matzah; but tonight, all is matzah.  On all other nights, we eat any vegetable; but tonight, we eat maror.  On all other nights, we eat sitting or reclining; but tonight, we all recline.

We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt; but God took us out from there, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.  And had the Holy One, blessed be He, not taken our ancestors out of Egypt--we, our children, and our children's children would still be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt.  Therefore, even if we are all wise, all men of understanding, all well versed in the Torah--we would still be commanded to tell about the Exodus from Egypt; and whoever tells about it at length is worthy of praise.

Once Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Tarfon were all celebrating the Seder in B'nai B'rak.  And they told the story of the Exodus from Egypt the entire night, until their students came and told them, "our masters, the time has come for the morning recital of Shema`!"

The wicked one--what does he say?  "What is this service to you?" (Exodus 12,26).  "To you", and not to him.  And since he excluded himself from the people at large, he denies the foundation of our faith.  So you blunt his teeth and tell him, "It is because of this that the LORD acted for me when I came forth out of Egypt" (Exodus 13,8).  "For me", and not for him; had he been there, he would not have been redeemed.

As for the one who does not know how to ask, you must begin for him, as it is written "and thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying:  It is because of this that the LORD acted for me when I came forth out of Egypt" (Exodus 13,8).  "And thou shalt tell your son", perhaps we can begin from the beginning of the month [of Nisan]?  The Torah teaches "on that day" [on the day of the Exodus].  If "on that day", perhaps we can begin while it is still day?  The Torah teaches "because of this", to teach only when the matzah and maror are placed before you.

At first, our ancestors were idol worshippers; but now, the Omnipresent blessed be He has drawn us close to His service, as it is written "And Joshua said unto all the people:  'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel:  Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor; and they served other gods.  And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.  And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau; and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt'" (Joshua 24,2-4).

Blessed is He who keeps his promise to Israel his people, may He be blessed!  For the Holy One blessed be He calculated the end [of our bondage] in order to fulfill His pledge to Abraham in the covenant 'between the parts', as it is written "And He said unto Abram:  'Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they come out with great substance'" (Genesis 15,13-14).

Go out and learn what Lavan the Aramean sought to do to Jacob our father!  Pharaoh the evil only decreed against the males, but Lavan sought to uproot everything, as it is written "A wandering Aramean was my father" [while this makes little sense in English, the free word order of Hebrew and ambiguity of the verb "'oved" can be stretched somewhat to mean that an Aramean Lavan tried to cause the loss of Jacob] "and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there" (Deuteronomy 26,5).  This teaches that he did not descend to live there permanently, but rather temporarily, "And they said unto Pharaoh:  'To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan.  Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen'" (Genesis 47,4).

åîçæéø àú äùåìçï ìôðéå åàåîø (äìëåú çîõ åîöä æ,æ-ç [ä-å]; ç,ã-ä): The table is returned in front of the reader, and he says:

Rabban Gamliel would say:  Whoever does not say the following three things on Pesach has not fulfilled his obligation:  the Pesach sacrifice, matzah, and maror.
ôÌÆñÇç ùÑÆäÈéåÌ àÂáåÉúÅéðåÌ àåÉëÀìÄéï áÌÄæÀîÈï ùÑÆáÌÅéú äÇîÌÄ÷ÀãÌÈùÑ ÷ÇéÌÈí, òÇì ùÑÅí îÈä--òÇì ùÑÅí ùÑÆôÌÈñÇç äÇîÌÈ÷åÉí òÇì áÌÈúÌÅé àÂáåÉúÅéðåÌ áÌÀîÄöÀøÇéÄí, ùÑÆðÌÆàÁîÈø "åÇàÂîÇøÀúÌÆí æÆáÇç-ôÌÆñÇç äåÌà ìÇéäåÈä, àÂùÑÆø ôÌÈñÇç òÇì-áÌÈúÌÅé áÀðÅé-éÄùÒÀøÈàÅì áÌÀîÄöÀøÇéÄí, áÌÀðÈâÀôÌåÉ àÆú-îÄöÀøÇéÄí, åÀàÆú-áÌÈúÌÅéðåÌ äÄöÌÄéì; åÇéÌÄ÷ÌÉã äÈòÈí, åÇéÌÄùÑÀúÌÇçÂååÌ" (ùîåú éá,ëæ). The Pesach sacrifice that our ancestors would eat during the time the Temple stood--what is its reason?  Because the Omnipresent passed over our ancestors' houses in Egypt, as it is written "that ye shall say:  It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, for that He 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" (Exodus 12,27).
åîâáéä àú äîöä áéãå åàåîø: He raises the matzah in his hand and says:
îÇöÌÈä æåÉ ùÑÆàÂðÇçÀðåÌ àåÉëÀìÄéï, òÇì ùÑÅí îÈä--òÇì ùÑÅí ùÑÆìÌÉà äÄñÀôÌÄé÷ áÌÀöÅ÷Èí ùÑÆìÌÇàÂáåÉúÅéðåÌ ìÀäÇçÀîÄéõ, òÇã ùÑÆðÌÄâÀìÈä òÂìÅéäÆí îÆìÆêÀ îÇìÀëÅé äÇîÌÀìÈëÄéí äÇ÷ÌÈãåÉùÑ áÌÈøåÌêÀ äåÌà, åÌâÀàÈìÈí îÄéÌÈã:  ùÑÆðÌÆàÁîÈø "åÇéÌÉàôåÌ àÆú-äÇáÌÈöÅ÷ àÂùÑÆø äåÉöÄéàåÌ îÄîÌÄöÀøÇéÄí, òËâÉú îÇöÌåÉú--ëÌÄé ìÉà çÈîÅõ:  ëÌÄé-âÉøÀùÑåÌ îÄîÌÄöÀøÇéÄí, åÀìÉà éÈëÀìåÌ ìÀäÄúÀîÇäÀîÅäÌÇ, åÀâÇí-öÅãÈä, ìÉà-òÈùÒåÌ ìÈäÆí" (ùîåú éá,ìè). This matzah that we eat--what is its reason?  Because our ancestors' dough did not have time to leaven before the King of Kings blessed be He revealed Himself to them and redeemed them, as it is written "And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual" (Exodus 12,39).
åîâáéä àú äîøåø áéãå åàåîø: He raises the maror in his hand and says:
îÀøåÉøÄéí àÅìÌåÌ ùÑÆàÂðÇçÀðåÌ àåÉëÀìÄéï, òÇì ùÑÅí îÈä--òÇì ùÑÅí ùÑÆîÌÅøÀøåÌ äÇîÌÄöÀøÄéÌÄéí àÆú çÇéÌÅé àÂáåÉúÅéðåÌ áÌÀîÄöÀøÇéÄí, ùÑÆðÌÆàÁîÈø "åÇéÀîÈøÀøåÌ àÆú-çÇéÌÅéäÆí áÌÇòÂáÉãÈä ÷ÈùÑÈä, áÌÀçÉîÆø åÌáÄìÀáÅðÄéí, åÌáÀëÈì-òÂáÉãÈä, áÌÇùÌÒÈãÆä--àÅú, ëÌÈì-òÂáÉãÈúÈí, àÂùÑÆø-òÈáÀãåÌ áÈäÆí, áÌÀôÈøÆêÀ" (ùîåú à,éã). This maror we eat--what is its reason?  Because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our ancestors in Egypt, as it is written "And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour" (Exodus 1,14).

In every generation, a person is obligated to show himself as if he had left Egypt:  for He did not redeem only our ancestors, but even us as well, as it is written "And He brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers" (Deuteronomy 6,23).

Therefore we are obligated to thank, praise, laud, glorify, exalt, magnify, adore, and give eternal honor to the One who did all these miracles for us and for our ancestors, and took us out from slavery to freedom, from servitude to redemption, from sorrow to happiness, from mourning to festivity, and from deep darkness to great light; let us say before Him, Hallelujah!
