אלו עשה בהם שפטים
ולא עשה באלהיהם

ןלא קרע לנו את הים

ולא שקע צרינו בתוכו

ולא ספק צרכנו במדבר ארבעים שנה

--
If He had brought us out from Egypt,
and had not carried out judgments against them
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had carried out judgments against them,
and not against their idols
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had destroyed their idols,
and had not smitten their first-born
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had smitten their first-born,
and had not given us their wealth
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had given us their wealth,
and had not split the sea for us
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had split the sea for us,
and had not taken us through it on dry land
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had taken us through the sea on dry land,
and had not drowned our oppressors in it
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had drowned our oppressors in it,
and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had supplied our needs in the desert for forty years,
and had not fed us the manna
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
If He had fed us the manna,
and had not given us Shabbat
— Dayenu, it would have sufficed!
