1) מרור... על שום מה -

What does the nature of Maror teach us?

2) וימררו את חייהם -

When did the Egyptians begin to "embitter the lives" of Bnei Yisrael," and why?

3) בחמר -

Why is the word "b'Chomer" written missing a 'Vav'?

4) ובכל עבדה בשדה -

Why is the "work in the fields" singled out?

5) בפרך -

The term "Parech" already appeared in the preceding Pasuk (Shemos 1:13, which we cited earlier in the Hagadah). Why is it repeated?

6) Sequence -

What can we learn from the sequence of the types of work listed in this Pasuk? How did each type embitter the lives of Bnei Yisrael?

7) Ever - intensifying -

How did the Egyptians gradually intensify the slavery?

8) מרור זה שאנו אוכלים -

In the absence of a Korban Pesach, the Mitzvah of Maror is Rabbinically ordained (unlike Matzah, which is a Biblical obligation even today). How can this be explained, based on the symbolism of the Pesach, Matzah, and Maror (see section "Raban Gamliel")?
