כַּמָּה מַעֲלוֹת טוֹבוֹת לַמָּקוֹם עָלֵינוּ	Quam multas dignitates (immunitates) bonas contulis nobis LOCUS. (Scilicet Deus.)
אִלּוּ הוֹצִיאָנוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם. וְלֹא עָשָׂה בָהֶם שְׁפָטִים דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si enim eduxisset nos ex Ægypto Et non fecisset de eis judicia, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ עָשָׂה בָהֶם שְׁפָטִים. וְלֹא עָשָׂה בֵּאלֹהֵיהֶם דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si fecisset de eis Judicia Et non fecisset de Diis eorum, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ עָשָׂה בֵאלֹהֵיהֶם. וְלֹא הָרַג בְּכוֹרֵיהֶם דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si fecisset de Diis eorum Et non occidisset primogenita eorum, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ הָרַג בְּכוֹרֵיהֶם. וְלֹא נָתָן לָנוּ אֶת מָמוֹנָם דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si occidisset primogenita eorum, Et non dedisset nobis divitas ipsorum, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ נָתָן לָנוּ אֶת מָמוֹנָם. וְלֹא קָרַע לָנוּ אֶת הַיָּם דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si dedisset nobis divitas ipsorum, Et non divisisset nobis mare, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ קָרַע לָנוּ אֶת הַיָּם. וְלֹא הֶעֱבִירָנוּ בְתוֹכוֹ בֶּחָרָבָה דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si divisisset nobis mare, Et non traduxisset nos per medium ejus in arida, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ הֶעֱבִירָנוּ בְתוֹכוֹ בֶּחָרָבָה. וְלֹא שִׁקָּע צָרֵינוּ בְּתוֹכוֹ דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si traduxisset nos per medium ejus in arida, Et non submersisset affligentes nos in medio ejus, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ שִׁקָּע צָרֵינוּ בְּתוֹכוֹ וְלֹא סִפֵּק צָׇרְכֵּנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה. דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si submersisset affligentes nos in medio ejus, Et non procurasset nobis necessaria ad sufficientiam nostram, quadraginta annis in deserto, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ סִפֵּק צָׇרְכֵּנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה. וְלֹא הֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת הַמָּן דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si procurasset nobis necessaria ad sufficientiam nostram, quadraginta annis in deserto, Et non fecisset nos comedere Manna, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ הֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת הַמָּן. וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si fecisset nos comedere Manna, Et non dedisset nobis Sabbathum, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. וְלֹא קֵרְבָנוּ לִפְנֵי הַר סִינָי דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si dedisset nobis Sabbathum Et non secisset nos accedere ad montem Sinai, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ קֵרְבָנוּ לִפְנֵי הַר סִינָי. וְלֹא נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si secisset nos accedere ad montem Sinai, Et non dedisset nobis Legem, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ נָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה. וְלֹא הִכְנִסָנוּ לְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si dedisset nobis Legem, Et non congregasset nos in terra Israel, sufficeret nobis:
אִלּוּ הִכְנִסָנוּ לְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְלֹא בָנָה לָנוּ אֶת בֵּית הַבְּחִירָה דַּיֵּנוּ׃	Si congregasset nos in terra Israel, Et non ædificasset nobis dumum electionis, sufficeret nobis:
עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה טוֹבָה וּמְכֻפֶּלֶת לַמָּקוֹם עָלֵינוּ. שֶׁהוֹצִיאָנוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם. וְעָשָׂה בָהֶם שְׁפָטִים. וְעָשָׂה בֵּאלֹהֵיהֶם. וְהָרַג בְּכוֹרֵיהֶם. וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת מָמוֹנָם. וְקָרַע לָנוּ אֶת הַיָּם. וְהֶעֱבִירָנוּ בְתוֹכוֹ בֶּחָרָבָה. וְשִׁקַּע צָרֵינוּ בְּתוֹכוֹ. וְסִפֵּק צָׇרְכֵּנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה. וְהֶאֱכִילָנוּ אֶת הַמָּן. וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. וְקֵרְבָנוּ לִפְנֵי הַר סִינָי. וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה. וְהִכְנִסָנוּ לְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל. וּבָנָה לָנוּ אֶת בֵּית הַבְּחִירָה לְכַפֵּר עַל כָׇּל עוֹנוֹתֵינוּ׃	Ita post unum (beneficium) multiplicavit, (& multiplicia hæc sua beneficia rursus) duplicando duplicavit LOCUS (id est Deus) nobis, educens nos ex Ægypt, & faciens de eis judicia, & etiam de Diis eorum, & occidens primogenita ipsorum, & dans nobis divitias eorum, & dividens nobis mare, & traducens nos per medium ejus in arida: et submergens affligentes nos in medio eus. Et necessaria nobis procurans ad sufficientam quadraginta annis in deserto, & commendere nos faciens MANNA: Et dans (instituens) nobis Sabbathum; Et accendere nos faciens ad monem Sinai, & dans nobis Legem; Et congregans nos in terra Israël, & ædificans nobis domum electionis, ut redderemus nobis (ibi DEUM) propitium siper omnes iniquitates nostras.

Johann Stephan Rittangel (Latin translation)

Johann Stephan Rittangel (Latin: Rittangelius) (b.1606 Forscheim near Bamberg – d. 1652 Königsberg ) was a Christian Hebraist. Born Jewish, he later converted to Catholicism, and later to Calvinism and Lutheranism. In 1640, Rittangel was appointed professor of Oriental languages at the University of Königsberg (Prussia). In 1641, Rittangel visited a community of Karaite Jews in Trakai, before traveling to London and then to the Dutch Republic where, in Amsterdam, he taught Hebrew and possibly identified, for a time, as a Jew. In July 1642 he left the Low Countries to go to Königsberg, where he spent the rest of his life until his death in 1652. He obtained a Hebrew manuscript of the Sefer Yezirah through the Mennonite merchant Gerebrand Anslo, for a translation into Latin in 1642 ( Liber Jezirah qui Abrahamo Patriarchae adscribitur). In 1644, he published his Latin translation of the Passover Haggadah. He made one of the earliest translations of Jewish prayers, under the title Hochfeyerliche Sollennitaeten, Gebethe und Collecten Anstatt der Opfer, Nebst Andern Ceremonien so von der Jüdischen Kirchen am Ersten Neuen-Jahrs-Tag Gebetet und Abgehandelt Werden Müssen, Königsberg, 1652. His posthumous work Bilibra Veritatis was written to substantiate the claim that the Targums prove the doctrine of the Trinity. This is also the subject of his Veritas Religionis Christianæ (Franeker, 1699).

Sometimes the best we can do in attributing a historical work is to indicate the period and place it was written, the first prayer book it may have been printed in, or the archival collection in which the manuscript was found. We invite the public to help to attribute all works to their original composers. If you know something not mentioned in the commentary offered, please leave a comment or contact us.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
