What does the evil [son] say? "'What is this worship to you?' (Exodus 12:26)" 'To you' and not 'to him.' And since he excluded himself from the collective, he denied a principle [of the Jewish faith]. And accordingly, you will blunt his teeth and say to him, "'For the sake of this, did the Lord do [this] for me in my going out of Egypt' (Exodus 13:8)." 'For me' and not 'for him.' If he had been there, he would not have been saved.

For as Your Name, so is Your praise,¹⁰See Tehillim 48:11. This refers to His Name, described in the thirteen attributes of Hashem. You are slow to anger and easy to pacify;¹¹See Maseches Avos 5:1. For You do not desire death [for the sinner] but that he turn from his evil way and live.¹²See Yechezkel 18:32, 18:23. And even until his dying day, You wait for him— if he repents, You immediately accept him.

[Nevertheless], You have set man apart from the beginning, and recognized him [as worthy] to stand before You. For who could tell You what You should do, and even if he be righteous, what [benefit] does he give You? And You, Adonoy, our God, gave us with love, this Day of Atonement to be the end [of sin] forgiveness, and pardon for all our iniquities, so that we may refrain from the injustice of our hands; and return to You, to fulfill the statutes of Your will with a perfect heart. And You in Your abundant mercy, have compassion on us, for You do not desire the destruction of the world; as it is stated: “Seek Adonoy while He may be found, call to Him while He is near.”²Yeshaya 55:6 And it is said: “Let the wicked abandon his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts, and let him return to Adonoy and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He pardons abundantly.”³Yeshaya 55:7 And You, God of pardon, are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abundant in kindness and truth, and abounding in goodness. You want the repentance of the wicked, and do not desire their death. As it is stated: “Say to them, as truly as I live, declares the Master, Adonoy, I have no desire for the death of the wicked, but only that the wicked return from his [evil] path and live; And it is said, “Return, return, from your evil ways, why should you die House of Yisrael?”⁴Yechezkel 33:11 And it is said, “Do I desire the death of the wicked? declares the Master, Adonoy; [I desire rather]that he return from his [evil] way and live.”⁵Yechezkel 18:23 And it is said: “For I do not desire the death of him who deserves death, declares the Master, Adonoy; [therefore] return and live.”⁶Yechezkel 18:32 For You are the Pardoner of Yisrael, and the Forgiver of the tribes of Yeshurun in every generation; and besides You we have no King Who forgives and pardons only You.

Man, his beginning is from dust and ends in dust; risking his life, he gets his bread, he is like a potsherd that is breakable, like grass that withers, like the flower that fades, like the shadow that passes, like the cloud that vanishes, like the wind that blows, like the dust that flies, and like a fleeting dream.
