lyrics

Lines are sung-spoken from the Hebrew song Dayenu from the Passover Haggadah.

אלו הוציאנו ממצרים
ולא עשה בהם שפטים
דינו

אלו עשה בהם שפטים
ולא עשה באלהיהם
דינו

אלו עשה באלהיהם
ולא הרג את בכוריהם
דינו

אלו הרג את בכוריהם
ולא נתן לנו את ממונם
דינו

אלו נתן לנו את ממונם
ןלא קרע לנו את הים
דינו

אלו קרע לנו את הים
ולא העבירנו בתוכו בחרבה
דינו

אלו העבירנו בתוכו בחרבה
ולא שקע צרינו בתוכו
דינו

אלו שקע צרינו בתוכו
ולא ספק צרכנו במדבר ארבעים שנה
דינו

אלו ספק צרכנו במדבר ארבעים שנה
ולא האכילנו את המן
דינו

אלו האכילנו את המן
ולא נתן לנו את השבת
דינו

אלו נתן לנו את השבת
ולא קרבנו לפני הר סיני
דינו

אלו קרבנו לפני הר סיני
ולא נתן לנו את התורה
דינו

--

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!
