Exegesis
The temporal phrase bayom hahu {בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא | ba-yôm ha-hû} ‘on that day’ sets the occasion, linked to the quotative leemor {לֵאמֹר | lē-ʾē-mōr} ‘saying.’
In context — Exodus 13:8
And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, “This is because of what the LORD did for me when I went out from Egypt .”
