L'exode est une invitation à venir manger faite à tous ceux qui ont faim. Le plus jeune enfant pose quatre questions introduite par une question générale : Pourquoi ce soir est-il différent de tous les autres soirs? Et la réponse raconte l'histoire éloquente de la délivrance. Les principaux traits sont le pain sans levain, les herbes amères et le vin rappelant l'angoisse et les joies des Israélites sauvés de l'esclavage égyptien. (Epstein, Isidore. Le Judaïsme : Origines et Histoire. Harmondsworth, England : Pelican Books, 1959, p. 161) 1, record 3, French, - seder
