 If it may be assumed that in these homilies of Midrash Abkir the expositions are not confined to the first verses, the fact that certain passages are not connected with the beginning of any seder need cause no surprise.The language of this midrash is pure Hebrew, while its contents and discussions recall the works of the later haggadic period.As in the Pirḳe Rabbi Eli'ezer, angels are frequently mentioned.
