They may observe it on the fourteenth day of the second month ¹  at twilight; they are to eat it with bread made without yeast and with bitter herbs.

Better a meal of vegetables where there is love ¹  than a fattened ox where there is hatred. ² 

When the hay is removed and new grass appears, and the grass from the hills is gathered in,

Someone went out to the field to gather some herbs and found a wild vine. ¹  He picked some of its fruit, ²  enough to fill up the fold of his robe. He came back, cut it up, and threw the slices ³  into the stew pot, not knowing they were harmful. ⁴

He has given me my fill of bitter herbs and made me drunk with bitterness. ¹

They ate all the vegetation in their land, and devoured the crops of their fields. ¹
