Quotation sur Pesahim 10:4

מָזְגוּ לוֹ כוֹס שֵׁנִי, וְכָאן הַבֵּן שׁוֹאֵל אָבִיו, וְאִם אֵין דַּעַת בַּבֵּן, אָבִיו מְלַמְּדוֹ, מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת, שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין חָמֵץ וּמַצָּה, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כֻלּוֹ מַצָּה. שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין שְׁאָר יְרָקוֹת, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מָרוֹר. שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין בָּשָׂר צָלִי, שָׁלוּק, וּמְבֻשָּׁל, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כֻלּוֹ צָלִי. שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ מַטְבִּילִין פַּעַם אַחַת, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה שְׁתֵּי פְעָמִים. וּלְפִי דַעְתּוֹ שֶׁל בֵּן, אָבִיו מְלַמְּדוֹ. מַתְחִיל בִּגְנוּת וּמְסַיֵּם בְּשֶׁבַח, וְדוֹרֵשׁ מֵאֲרַמִּי אוֹבֵד אָבִי, עַד שֶׁיִּגְמֹר כֹּל הַפָּרָשָׁה כֻלָּהּ:

Ils lui ont versé la deuxième tasse. Et ici (kan) le fils demande à son père [Dans tous les textes, il n'est pas écrit «kan», mais «ken», comme dans (Nombres 27: 7): «Ken (à juste titre) les filles de Tzelafchad parlent». C'est-à-dire qu'il est juste qu'au versement de la deuxième coupe, le fils demande:] «Pourquoi cette nuit est-elle différente de toutes les (autres) nuits? Car toutes les nuits, nous mangeons du hamets et de la matsa; cette nuit, seulement de la matsa. Car toutes les nuits, nous mangeons tous les légumes verts; cette nuit, maror. Car toutes les nuits nous mangeons de la chair rôtie, bouillie et cuite; cette nuit, seulement rôtie. [Le fils demandait ainsi quand le Temple était debout.] "Pour toutes les nuits, nous plongeons une fois; cette nuit, deux fois." Et selon l'intelligence du fils, son père lui enseigne. Il commence par l'obloque [«Dès le début, nos ancêtres étaient des idolâtres et nous étions des esclaves, etc.»] et il se termine par des louanges [«Dieu nous a rapprochés de Son service et a racheté nos pères d'Égypte»], et il explique «Un Araméen errant était mon père» jusqu'à ce qu'il termine la section entière.

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

MISHNAH: One mixes him the second cup, and here the son asks⁶²He is supposed spontaneously to ask why this dinner is different from the usual set-up.. If the son does not know how to ask, his father instructs him⁶³The following catalogue is an example of the questions with which the instruction may start. The order of the questions is the same in Maimonides’s text, different in the Babli.: What is the difference between this night and all other nights? For every night we dip once⁶⁴As explained in Note 52., but this night we dip twice. For every night we eat leavened and unleavened bread, but this night only unleavened. For in all other nights we eat meat roasted, preserved⁶⁵By extended cooking. This always is mentioned as a separate category of preparation of food., or cooked, but in this night only roasted. According to the son’s understanding the father teaches him⁶⁶Along the lines explained in Mishnah 5. If children or women do not understand Hebrew, this implies the duty to translate the Haggadah text.. He starts with ignominy⁶⁷As explained in Halakhah 5. and ends with praise and explains from “a lost Aramean was my father” until he finishes the paragraph⁶⁸Deut. 26:5–8. The Babli text, “until he finishes the paragraph completely”, would instruct to include also v. 9, not included in the Haggadah text identical with Sifry Deut. on Deut. 26:5–8..
Rabban Gamliel used to say, anybody who did not teach these three words on Passover did not fulfill his duty, Pesaḥ, mazzah, and bitter herbs. Pesaḥ because the Omnipresent passed over the houses of our forefathers in Egypt, mazzah because our forefathers were freed from Egypt⁸¹A reference to Ex. 12:39 is understood, but is not included in any reliable Mishnah ms.. Bitter herbs because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our forefathers in Egypt. In every generation a person is required to see himself as if he himself had gone out of Egypt, as it was said, you shall tell your son on that day, this is on account of what the Eternal did for me when I left Egypt. Therefore we are required to thank, sing His praise, laud, glorify, exalt, praise in perpetuity, to glorify, Him who did all these miracles for us⁸²Since everybody has to consider himself as if he left Egypt, it is appropriate that here “our forefathers” are not mentioned, in contrast to the Mishnah in the Babli. and led us from slavery to freedom; let us say before Him Hallelujah⁸³The Hallel, Pss. 113–118..
