Blessed is the Eternal, who gave the Torah to the people Israel. Blessed is the Lord.
The Torah speaks of four types of children: one who is wise, one who is rebellious, one who is simple, and one who does not know how to ask a question.
The wise child asks: "What is the meaning of the rules, laws and traditions which God has commanded?" (Deuteronomy 6:20)
You should teach this child all the traditions of Passover, even to the last detail about the Afikomen.
The rebellious child asks: "What does this seder mean to you?" (Exodus 12:26)
To you and not to us! They exclude themselves from the Jewish community and deny God's role. You must therefore say plainly: "I do this because of what the Eternal did for us when we came forth from Egypt" (Exodus 13:8) Say "for us" and do not include the child -- for had he or she been in Egypt, that child would not have been redeemed.
The simple child asks: "What is all this?"
Tell this child: "It was with a mighty hand that the Lord took us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." (Exodus 12:14)
And for the child who does not know how to ask a question, you should not wait, but begin for that child as it is written: "And you shall tell your child on that day, 'It is because of what the Eternal did for us when we came forth out of Egypt." (Exodus 13:8)
