"What says the wicked son? He asks: โWhat mean you by this service?\" He says you expressly to except himself; and since he thus excludes himself from the collective body of the nation, he denies a principle of faith. Therefore must thou retort upon him by saying: \"This is done, because of what the Eternal did for me when I came forth from Egypt;\" for me, and not for him: since had he been there, he would not have deserved to be redeemed.",
"What says the simple son? He only asks: \"What is this?\" But thou must tell him, \"With might of hand did the Eternal bring us forth from Egypt, from the house of bondage.\"",

"In the Beginning Our Fathers Were Idol Worshipers": [
"Originally our ancestors were worshippers of idolatry: but now the Omnipresent God hath brought us near to his worship, as it is said.

"Blessed is He who observeth his promise unto Israel. Blessed is He who even computed beforehand, the end of the captivity, in order, faithfully to perform what he promised our father Abraham between the parts; as it is said: \"God said unto Abraham, Know of a surety that thy posterity shall be a stranger in a land not theirs, and shall serve them: and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and that nation also whom they shall serve, I will judge: they shall afterwards go forth with great substance.\"",

"\"And our sorrow;\" this refers to the destruction of the male children; as it said, \"Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.\"",
"\"And our oppression;\" this refers to the severity employed; as it is said, \" And I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.\"",

From where it is said, that \"He sent forth against them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation and trouble, a band of evil angels.\" Wrath is one, indignation two, trouble three, a band of evil angels four: hence it may be deduced that in Egypt they were smitten with fifty plagues, and at the Red Sea they were smitten with two hundred plagues.",
"Rabbi Akeevah says, Whence canst thou deduce that each plague which the Most Holy, blessed be He, brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt consisted of five plagues?<br>From where it is said, \"He sent forth against them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation and trouble, a band of evil angels.\" The Fierceness of His anger is one, wrath is two, indignation is three, troubles four, a band of evil angels is five.

Our God is in the heavens; He hath made whatsoever he pleased. But their idols of silver and gold are the work of human hands. They have mouths, but speak not: they have eyes, but see not. They have ears, but hear not: they have nostrils, but smell not. They have hands, but feel not: they have feet, but walk not; neither is there any utterance in their throat. May those who make them and every one who trusteth in them become like them. Israel, trust thou in the Eternal, he is thy help and shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Eternal, he is your help and shield. Ye who venerate the Eternal, trust in the Eternal, he is your help and shield. The Eternal who hath ever been mindful of us, will bless us, he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who venerate the Eternal, both small and great. May the Eternal increase you more and more, you and your children. Blessed are ye of the Eternal, who made heaven and earth. The heavens are the heavens of the Eternal: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The dead praise not the Eternal, nor they who descend into the silent grave.

Should the struggles of death compass me, the pangs of the grave seize me, were trouble and sorrow to overtake me, I would then call upon the name of the Eternal; saying, O Eternal! I beseech thee, deliver my soul! The Eternal is gracious and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The Eternal preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. Return my soul to thy serenity, for the Eternal hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
