"english": "One might suppose that recounting Egypt's Exodus must start from the opening of the month of Nissan, for that was when Moses instructed the Jewish Nation regarding Egypt's Exodus. Hence the Torah states, \"Recount to your son Egypt's Exodus on that day\" (the date of the Pesach-offering), so as to teach us that we start when we present the Pesach-offering. Were Scripture to read only \"on that day,\" however, one might suppose that he should start while daylight yet remains on the eve of Pesach, for the prior verse treats of the Pesach-offering, which was presented during the afternoon of the day preceding Pesach. To instruct us otherwise, the Torah states that a father should declare to his son, \"It is because of these mitzvot—Pesach, eating matzah, and eating marror—that God wrought miracles for me upon my leaving Egypt.\" Only then may you say \"because of these mitzvot\" on Pesach night itself when you are bound to eat matzah and marror.",
