???? ??? ???, ???? ??????

Why do we say this Pesach Night? What does Lavan have to do with us being slaves to the Egyptians?

In the sefer “Chukas HaPesach” it states that the process of going down to Egypt began due to the jealousy the brothers had towards Yosef. And who caused this jealousy? ???? ??? ???, Yaakov worked the first 7 years for Rachel, and Lavan switched the bride to Leah. Had Yaakov married Rachel first, then Yosef would have been the bechor, and then the brothers wouldn’t have been jealous of the treatment Yosef received, afterall he was the bechor!

Therefore we start by saying ???? ??? ???, ???? ??????, since Lavan was the catalyst for the entire events.
