Exegesis
The repetition of meʾerets Miṣrayim {מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם | mê·ʾe·reṣ miṣ·rā·yim} ‘from the land of Egypt’ and the temporal phrase kol yemei chayyecha {כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ | kôl ye·mê ḥay·ye·ḵā} ‘all the days of your life’ extends remembrance across the lifetime, creating a solemn liturgical rhythm.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:3
You shall not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction . For in haste you went out from the land of Egypt, so that you may remember the day of your coming out from the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
