Parshanut sur L’Exode 12:14
וְהָיָה֩ הַיּ֨וֹם הַזֶּ֤ה לָכֶם֙ לְזִכָּר֔וֹן וְחַגֹּתֶ֥ם אֹת֖וֹ חַ֣ג לַֽיהוָ֑ה לְדֹרֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם חֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם תְּחָגֻּֽהוּ׃
Ce jour sera pour vous une époque mémorable et vous le solenniserez comme une fête de l’Éternel; d’âge en âge, à jamais, vous le fêterez.
Meshekh Chokhmah
A festival to Hashem. This festival was not to commemorate their release from servitude but their recognition as a people by Hashem. That is why it is “an eternal statute,” to be observed even if they should subsequently become enslaved again, for instance in the time of Achashverosh. For the Divine recognition and the special providence that began at that time never cease (Meshech Chochmah).
