I
came forth out of Egypt." For this reason we are bound to acknowledge, to
thank, to praise, to glorify, to exalt, to magnify, to bless, to elevate,
without limit, HIM who has done for our fathers and us all these miracles.
He brought us from slavery to freedom, from sorrow to joy, and from
mourning to festivity, and from thick darkness to great light, and from
servitude to redemption, and let us say before Him Hallelujah.

6. "How far does he repeat?" The school of Shammai say, till "a joyful
mother of children."(186) But the school of Hillel say, till "the flint
into a fountain of waters,"(187) and he finished with a "blessing for
redemption." Rabbi Tarphon said, " 'Who redeemed us and redeemed our
fathers from Egypt,' and he does not end with any other blessing." Rabbi
Akiba adds, "So the Lord our God and the God of our fathers shall bring us
to holidays and other feast-days yet to come to us in peace, rejoicing in
the building of THY city, and delighting in THY service; and we shall eat
there the sacrifices and the passovers, etc., until 'Blessed be Thou,
Lord, the Redeemer of Israel.' "

7. When the attendants mixed for him the third cup(188) he says the
blessing for his food, with the fourth cup he finished the hallel, and
said over it the blessing of the Song.(189) Between the first and second
cups if he wish to drink, he may drink as much as he likes. Between the
third and fourth he must not drink.

8. Persons are not free after the passover to ask for more food. "If some
fall asleep during the passover?"(190) "They may afterward eat of it."
"All?" "They must not eat of it." Rabbi Jose says, "If they dozed?" "They
may eat of it." "If they slept?" "They must not eat of it."

9. The passover after midnight renders hands legally unclean. False
intention and the remains of the feast render hands legally unclean.(191)
"When one repeated the passover-blessing?" "He is free from the
sacrifice-blessing, but the sacrifice-blessing does not free him from that
of the passover." The words of R. Ishmael. Rabbi Akiba said, "this does
not free from that, nor that from this."
