Commentary on Exodus 12:42
This night is 'much to be observed' (leil shimurim, לֵיל שִׁמֻּרִים—a night of watching). God 'watched' to bring them out; Israel must 'observe' by remembering. The reciprocal watching creates a memorial where both divine vigilance and human remembrance meet. The phrase 'throughout their generations' ensures perpetual commemoration. This night becomes Israel's defining moment, annually re-experienced.
