Dayenu

Haggadah Section: -- Cup #2 & Dayenu

How many levels of favors has the Omnipresent One bestowed upon us:

If He had brought us out from Egypt, and had not carried out judgments against them Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had carried out judgments against them, and not against their idols Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had destroyed their idols, and had not smitten their first-born Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had smitten their first-born, and had not given us their wealth Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had given us their wealth, and had not split the sea for us Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had split the sea for us, and had not taken us through it on dry land Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had taken us through the sea on dry land, and had not drowned our oppressors in it Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had drowned our oppressors in it, and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, and had not fed us the manna Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had fed us the manna, and had not given us the Shabbat Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had given us the Shabbat, and had not brought us before Mount Sinai Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had brought us before Mount Sinai, and had not given us the Torah Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had given us the Torah, and had not brought us into the land of Israel Dayenu, it would have been enough!

If He had brought us into the land of Israel, and had not built for us the Beit Habechirah (Chosen House; the Beit Hamikdash) Dayenu, it would have been enough!

Thus how much more so should we be grateful to the Omnipresent One for the doubled and redoubled goodness that He has bestowed upon us; for He has brought us out of Egypt, and carried out judgments against them, and against their idols, and smote their first-born, and gave us their wealth, and split the sea for us, and took us through it on dry land, and drowned our oppressors in it, and supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, and fed us the manna, and gave us the Shabbat, and brought us before Mount Sinai, and gave us the Torah, and brought us into the land of Israel and built for us the Beit Habechirah to atone for all our sins.
