This is the Passover Offering
“וּבְכֵן ”וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶבַח פֶּסַח
This is the passover offering
אֹמֶץ גְּבוּרוֹתֶיךָ הִפְלֵאתָ בַּפֶּסַח, בְּרֹאשׁ כָּל מוֹעֲדוֹת נִשֵּׂאתָ פֶּסַח, גִּלִּיתָ לָאֶזְרָחִי חֲצוֹת לֵיל פֶּסַח
Chief of all feasts did You make Pesach; You did reveal Yourself to Abraham on the midnight of Pesach;
דְּלָתָיו דָּפַקְתָּ כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם בַּפֶּסַח, הִסְעִיד נוֹצְצִים עֻגוֹת מַצּוֹת בַּפֶּסַח, וְאֶל הַבָּקָר רָץ זֵכֶר לְשׁוֹר עֵרֶךְ פֶּסַח
To his door did You come at noon on Pesach; With matzot he served angels on Pesach; To the herd he ran for the ox recalling Joseph on Pesach;
זֹעֲמוּ סְדוֹמִים וְלֹהֲטוּ בָּאֵשׁ בַּפֶּסַח, חֻלַּץ לוֹט מֵהֶם, וּמַצּוֹת אָפָה בְּקֵץ פֶּסַח, טִאטֵאתָ אַדְמַת מֹף וְנֹף בְּעָבְרְךָ בַּפֶּסַח
The men of Sodom were burned in wrath on Pesach; Lot was saved, he baked matzot at the end of Pesach; You did sweep and destroy Egypt when passing on Pesach;
יָהּ, רֹאשׁ כָּל אוֹן מָחַצְתָּ בְּלֵיל שִׁמּוּר פֶּסַח, כַּבִּיר, עַל בֵּן בְּכוֹר פָּסַחְתָּ בְּדַם פֶּסַח, לְבִלְתִּי תֵת מַשְׁחִית לָבֹא בִפְתָחַי בַּפֶּסַח
Lord, every Egyptian firstborn You did crush on Pesach; But your firstborn You did passover on the Pesach; So that no evil destroyed Israel’s homes on Pesach;
מְסֻגֶרֶת סֻגָּרָה בְּעִתּוֹתֵי פֶּסַח, נִשְׁמְדָה מִדְיָן בִּצְלִיל שְׂעוֹרֵי עֹמֶר פֶּסַח, שׂרְפוּ מִשְׁמַנֵּי פּוּל וְלוּד בִּיקַד יְקוֹד פֶּסַח
The well-locked city of Jericho fell on Pesach; Midian was destroyed through a barley-cake from the Omer of Pesach; Assyria’s mighty armies were consumed by fire on Pesach;
עוֹד הַיּוֹם בְּנֹב לַעֲמוֹד, עַד גָּעָה עוֹנַת פֶּסַח, פַּס יָד כָּתְבָה לְקַעֲקֵעַ צוּל בַּפֶּסַח, צָפֹה הַצָּפִית עָרוֹךְ הַשֻּׁלְחָן, בַּפֶּסַח
Senncherib would have held his ground at Nov but the siege on Pesach; A hand inscribed Babylon’s fate on Pesach; Babylon’s festive table was destroyed on Pesach;
קָהָל כִּנְּסָה הֲדַסָּה צוֹם לְשַׁלֵּשׁ בַּפֶּסַח, רֹאשׁ מִבֵּית רָשָׁע מָחַצְתָּ בְּעֵץ חֲמִשִּׁים בַּפֶּסַח, שְׁתֵּי אֵלֶּה רֶגַע, תָּבִיא לְעוּצִית בַּפֶּסַח, תָּעוֹז יָדְךָ וְתָרוּם יְמִינְךָ, כְּלֵיל הִתְקַדֵּשׁ חַג פֶּסַח
Esther called a three-day fast on Pesach; You did hang the evil Haman on Pesach; Doubly, will You punish Edom on Pesach; Let Your mighty arm save us from harm on the night of Pesach;
After each verse abover repeat the following:
