מה נשתנה הלילה הזה מכל הלילות שבכל הלילות אנו מטבילין פעם אחת הלילה הזה שתי פעמים: מתקיף לה רבא אטו כל יומא לא סגיא דלא מטבלא חדא זימנא אלא אמר רבא הכי קתני שבכל הלילות אין אנו חייבין לטבל אפילו פעם אחת הלילה הזה שתי פעמים

FOR ON ALL [OTHER] NIGHTS WE EAT LEAVENED AND UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHEREAS ON THIS NIGHT [WE EAT] ONLY LEAVENED BREAD; ON ALL OTHER NIGHTS WE EAT ALL KINDS OF HERBS, ON THIS NIGHT BITTER HERBS; ON ALL OTHER NIGHTS WE EAT MEAT ROAST, STEWED OR BOILED, ON THIS NIGHT, ROAST ONLY.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., in Temple times, v. supra 70a. z" y');"=""><sup>13</sup></span> ON ALL OTHER NIGHTS WE DIP<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So the text as emended, and it is thus quoted in the Gemara; v.

Mishneh Torah, Leavened and Unleavened Bread

What differentiates this night from all [other] nights? On all other nights we don't dip even once; but tonight twice. On all other nights we eat chamets and matsa; but tonight it is all matsa. On all other nights we eat other vegetables; but tonight it is all bitter herbs. On all other nights we eat whether sitting or reclining; but tonight we are all reclining
