Had He brought us out of Egypt without bringing judgment upon [our oppressors], that would have been enough for us.

Had He brought judgment upon them but not upon their gods, that would have been enough for us.

Had He split the sea for us but not brought us through it dry, that would have been enough for us.

Had He brought us through [the sea] dry without drowning our enemies in it, that would have been enough for us.

Had He drowned our enemies in it without providing for our needs for forty years in the desert, that would have been enough for us.

Had He provided for our needs for forty years in the desert, without feeding us with manna, that would have been enough for us.

Had He fed us with manna without giving us Shabbat, that would have been enough for us.
