At the beginning of Magid, we referred to Matzah as "Lachma Anya" - bread of poverty or affliction; yet here we explain that Matzah represents our hastened redemption! How can it be both?
Why does the Hagadah add that "Hashem revealed Himself" to our forefathers, as He redeemed them? What was this revelation?
Why did Hashem orchestrate that we leave Egypt in such a hurried manner? Why is this haste a central theme of the Matzah?
The reason the Torah gives for eating Matzah, is to remember how we left Egypt in haste (also see Parshas Re'eh - "For you left Egypt in haste (Chipazon); in order to remember the day you left Egypt, all the days of your life" (Devarim 16:3)). If indeed we left Egypt by day, why is the Mitzvah to eat Matzah fulfilled at night?
If the reason the Torah gives for eating Matzah, is to remember how we left Egypt in haste, then why were the Bnei Yisrael commanded to eat Matzah along with the first Korban Pesach in Egypt (Shemos 12:8) - which was the night before that event even took place!
How exactly did the Bnei Yisrael bake this dough upon reaching their encampment? Why is it called "Ugos Matzos" (rather than "Lechem Matzos")?
Why did Bnei Yisrael not wait in Egypt for the dough that they were preparing to rise?
Why could Bnei Yisrael not tarry in Egypt for even a few minutes longer?
The Torah tells us that the Jewish people took Matzos with them, because "they were rushed out of Egypt, and did not have time to make the dough into bread" (Shemos 12:39). But even had they left at their leisure, they could not have made Chametz bread -- because Chametz was forbidden on that day!
What is the significance of the fact that Bnei Yisrael did not prepare provisions for the way? What did they eat until the 16th of Iyar, when the Mahn fell?
