  • Understanding the Pasuk brought in the Haggadah, \u05d5\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05dc\u05da \u05d1\u05d3\u05de\u05d9\u05da \u05d7\u05d9\u05d9 \u05d5\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05dc\u05da \u05d1\u05d3\u05de\u05d9\u05da \u05d7\u05d9\u05d9 (and I said to you, by your blood you shall live, and I said to you by your blood you shall live). Should we understand the Pasuk \u05e2\u05dc \u05e4\u05d9 \u05e4\u05e9\u05d8 or \u05d3\u05e8\u05d5\u05e9, which seem contradictory? Furthermore, why does the Pasuk repeat itself?
