We were slaves in Egypt and the Lord freed us from Egypt with a mighty hand. Had not the holy one liberated our people from Egypt, then we, our children and our children's children would still be enslaved. And even if we were all wise and understanding, ripe and learned in Torah, the mitzvah would still be on us to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt. And those who expand on that telling are to be praised.
