Tsey Ulmad: “Go out and learn…” ~ This is the core of the Haggadah (defined above as Oral elaborations of the Written Torah, also called Midrash after the method of interpretation it employs): Midrash on Deuteronomy 26:5-8, which itself is a succinct account of the Israelites’ history of oppression and liberation since patriarchal times through the liberation from Egypt that the Midrashic method hyperbolizes both for its degradation and its salvation.
Deuteronomy 26:5–9: My father was a wandering Aramean. He went down to Egypt few in number and sojourned there; and there he became a great and populous nation. But the Egyptians dealt harshly with us and oppressed us; they imposed heavy burdens upon us. We cried to the Eternal, the God of our Fathers, and the Eternal heard our plea and saw our affliction, our toil and our oppression. The Eternal freed us from Egypt by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm and awesome power, and by signs and by wonders. He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
