⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God is telling parents to explain to their children that they celebrate Passover because of how He rescued their ancestors from slavery in Egypt.

📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of God's instructions for the annual Passover celebration, which commemorates Israel's miraculous escape from Egyptian slavery. The 'that day' refers to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when families would eat bread without yeast for seven days to remember how quickly they had to leave Egypt. This was meant to be a teaching moment passed down through generations so the story of God's deliverance would never be forgotten.
