The Rambam says that the pasuk “zachor es ha’yom ha’zeh” is the source for the obligation to engage in sipur yetzias Mitzrayim (relating the story of the exodus) on the first night of Pesach (Hilchos Chametz U’Matzah 7:1). The Rambam then adds a word of elaboration and says that the mitzvah of “zachor es ha’yom ha’zeh” is akin to the mitzvah of “zachor es yom ha’Shabbos”. The Or Sameiach and others grapple with the question, in what way is the mitzvah of sipur yetzias Mitzrayim comparable to the mitzvah of zachor es yom ha’Shabbos?
