‡ Praised be You Oh YaHuWaH,
‡ Sovereign of the universe
‡ Who set apart your children
‡ and this festival season.
 _

$
‡ You have set us apart
‡ and exalted us
‡ with Your commandments.
 c

$
‡ In love You have given us
 days of joy
 and seasons of gladness,
 even this Feast of Unleavened Bread,
D a memorial of our departure from Mitsraim
(Egypt).

‡ You have

Blessed are You,

‡ We have before us this Seder Plate.
‡ On it have been placed
 the main symbols
D of this celebration.
 ! $
‡ First is the Karpas (parsley),
 the green vegetable,
D used to remind us that Passover comes in the
Spring.
D The green represents new life.
 _

$
‡ We will each take some parsely,
‡ dip it into the salt water and say the
blessing together.
‡ We dip it into the salt water to remind
us that a life without redemption
 is a life immersed in tears.
 '  
‡ [Each person take some parsley
‡ and dip it into the salt water.]
 c

$
‡ Blessed are You YaHuWaH
‡ our Mighty One,
‡ Sovereign of the Universe,
‡ Creator of the fruit of the earth.
‡ [All eat the greens]
 ! $
‡ Next we have the Matzah Tash with three
Matzos in it.
‡ As believers in Y¶shua, we believe this could
represent the Triune Mighty One
 The Father,
 the Son,
 and the Ruach HaQodesh (Set Apart Spirit).
 
$
‡ Our view is that the Matzah Tash could
represent the Oneness (echad) of
Elohim.
‡ There are 3 matzos in the Matzah
Tash.
 Creator
 Messiah
 Spirit.
 
$
‡ We are told by the rabbis that the
Matzos must be
‡ striped
‡ and pierced
‡ to be useable for Passover.
 
$
‡ They cannot satisfactorily explain why
 the middle Matzoh is
D taken out,
D broken,
D hidden (buried),
D returned (resurrected),
D and each person must partake of a piece of the Matzah
when the Cup of Redemption is taken.
 
$
‡ Yeshayahu (aka Isaiah) 53 says the
Messiah would be beaten (striped) for
our sins.
‡ Zecharyah (aka Zechariah) j says He
would be pierced for us.
 
$

‡ We believe the middle Matzah

represents Messiah (Yahushua).
 That He returned (resurrected),
 and that each must take Him for personal
salvation or reject Him .

‡ Hear Oh Yisra¶el,
‡ YaHuWaH is our Mighty One,

‡ This next symbol is the roasted shank
bone which reminds us of the Paschal
Lamb,
‡ Whose blood caused the Angel of
Death to pass over the homes of our
ancestors
‡ (Shemot, aka Exodus, j :j3) .
 c

$
‡ Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain to
receive power,
D and riches,

laid on top of the Matzah Tash. The
other part becomes the Afikomen and is

$
‡ [concerning the nd part of the Matzah]
‡ Behold the Matzah,
 thebread of affliction our fathers ate in the
desert.
‡ Let all who are hungry come and eat
thereof;
 and all who are in need come and celebrate
the Passover.
 ! $
‡ Next we have the Moror /more-or/,
 the bitter herbs,
D which reminds us of the bitterness of slavery,
D which our ancestors were compelled to endure.
 c

$
‡ Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
‡ and cleanse me from my sin.
‡ For I know my transgressions,
‡ and my sin is ever before me.
‡ Without your salvation my sin would be
a bitter end.
 ! $
‡ We have Charoset /har o set/
 made to resemble mortar,
D used at this time to remind us of the mortar that
our ancestors used
D to make bricks while slaves in Egypt.

‡ It is sweet to remind us that the most
bitter of labor is sweetened by the
promise of redemption.

 _

$
‡ We shall now answer the four
basic questions asked about
Passover, which you have asked.
 c

$
‡ Once we were slaves to Pharaoh in
Egypt,
‡ and YaHuWaH in His goodness and
mercy, brought us forth out of Egypt
 with a mighty hand
D and outstretched arm,
 with great terror,
D and with signs and wonders.
 c

$
‡ Therefore we gather year after year to
retell this ancient story. For though it is
ancient, it continues today in spirit as it
proclaims man¶s need for redemption
 c

$
‡ The first question asked regards the
use of Matzah.
‡ We eat these unleavened cakes to
remind us that our ancestors were
redeemed so swiftly that the yeast did
not have time to cause the dough to
raise.
 c

$

‡ So the bread was flat when baked in the

baked in the desert.
‡ (Many times in the Scriptures yeast or leaven
is used to represent µsin¶. Yet, being
redeemed, there is no sin found in us).
 ! $
‡ We partake of the Moror on this night to
remind us of how bitter is the lot of one
caught up in slavery to sin.
 c

$
‡ We dip twice in this service,
 greens into salt water
 and bitter herbs into Charoset.
 c

$
‡ The greens to remind us that a life
without redemption is a life immersed in
tears,
‡ and Moror into Charoset to reminds us
that even slavery is sweetened with the
promise of redemption.
 c

$
‡ The fourth question is,
‡ why do we recline when eating on
this night?
 c

$
‡ In ancient times only the free person
could eat in a reclining position.
‡ Slaves were to eat standing.
‡ On Passover, we are redeemed.
‡ YaHuWaH has provided our freedom
through His Paschal Lamb.
 c
 
,
‡ Our book of Exodus is called
Shemot in the Hebrew Scriptures,
named after the first key word in
the book. Shemot means names.
 _

$
‡ Our fathers went down into Mitsraim
with only 70 persons (Debarim j0: )
‡ YaHuWaH gave them many strong
boys and girls and they became a great
nation. (Debarim 6:5)
 c

$
‡ Then the Mitsrites feared us because of
our numbers
 and over-powered us.
‡ They made us slaves in their land.
(Debarim 6:6)
 _

$
‡ Our people, the nation of Yisra¶el
groaned under the oppression.
‡ Their cries and prayers went up to
YaHuWaH. (Shemot : 3)
 c

$
‡ ³Then we cried out to YaHuWaH,
 Mighty One of our fathers,
‡ and YaHuWaH heard our voice
 and looked on our affliction
D and our labor
D and our oppression. (Debarim 6:7)
 _

$
‡ YaHuWaH heard their groaning
‡ and YaHuWah remembered His
covenant
 with Abraham,
 with Yits-hak,
 and with Ya¶aqob.´ (Shemoth : 4)
‡ YaH saw the condition of His children
 and Yah cared.
 c

$
‡ YaHuWaH sent j0 terrible
plagues as a sign²
 j0 chances for the Mitsrites
D to obey YaHuWaH
D and set our people free.
 _

$
‡ the j0th plague would be the death of the first
born person in each family.
‡ Yah in His mercy provided protection for those
who trusted Him.
‡ The people were to take a spotless, white,
male lamb
 and hand feed it four days.
 Then the lamb was to be killed.
 _

$
‡ The blood was to be put on the top of the front
of each house,
 and on both side posts of the door.
‡ When the Angel of Death came to the houses
that night,
 death passed over the blood marked doors.
‡ (Is it any surprise that the blood dripping from
the doors that night formed a cross?).

‡[Set cups down.]

 _

$
‡ A full cup of wine represents full joy.
‡ Though we are happy that we have
been redeemed,
 our joy is diminished because our brothers
the Mitsrites had to suffer for not listening to
Yah.
 Therefore we have removed some of the
wine from our cups to show our sorrow
because those around us suffer.
 c

$
‡ We praise the Mighty One of
 Abraham,
 Yits-hak,
 and Ya¶aqob
‡ Who kept His faith with His people Yisra¶el.
‡ YaHuWaH¶s promise of redemption in ancient
days sustains us now as we know that His
promise remains forever true.

promise of redemption.

Yahushua if Yahuchanan the Immersion Witness was Eliyahu.
Yahushua replied, ³If you accept it, he came in the power and
spirit of him.´ We set a place at the table in thankful
remembrance of when he was here to herald the freedom our
Yahushua has given us through His death on the cross and in
thankfulness for His resurrection from the dead which assures us
of eternal life.

‡ Although there are seven promises that YaHuWaH

related to Moshah in Shemoth 6:6-8, only five of
them are represented in the Pesach Seder by the
first five cups. I have a work in progress coming out
soon entitled ³The Seven Tiys: 7 Hebrew Words That
Unfold The Pattern of The Grand Design.´ It goes
into this 7 part promise that YaHuWaH gave to
Moshah, how it relates to a pattern that underlies
Scripture from Bereyshith (aka, Genesis) to
Revelation.
