וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ לְבִנְךָ֔ עֲבָדִ֛ים הָיִ֥ינוּ לְפַרְעֹ֖ה בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וַיּוֹצִיאֵ֧נוּ יְהוָ֛ה מִמִּצְרַ֖יִם בְּיָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה׃
тогда скажи сыну твоему: 'Мы были фараоном'рабов в Египте; и вывел нас Господь из Египта могучей рукой.
Pesach Haggadah
We were slaves to Pharaoh in the land of Egypt. And the Lord, our God, took us out from there with a strong hand and an outstretched forearm. And if the Holy One, blessed be He, had not taken our ancestors from Egypt, behold we and our children and our children's children would [all] be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt. And even if we were all sages, all discerning, all elders, all knowledgeable about the Torah, it would be a commandment upon us to tell the story of the exodus from Egypt. And anyone who adds [and spends extra time] in telling the story of the exodus from Egypt, behold he is praiseworthy.
Pesachim
He begins [instructing him about the Exodus story] with [the account of Israel’s] shame and concludes with [Israel’s] praise [glory]: What is [meant by] 'with shame?' Rav said, "At first, our ancestors were idol worshipers." And Shmuel said, "We were slaves."
