פסחים י׳:א׳ - י׳:ב׳

ערבי פסחים סמוך למנחה – before the afternoon [worship] a bit, like a half-an-hour, at the beginning of the tenth hour. For the daily offering/Tamid was made at nine and-one-half hours (i.e., if the sun rose at 6:00 am and set at 6:00 pm – this would be at 3:30 pm), and before the Minha/afternoon sacrifice a half hour would be at the beginning of the tenth hour [of the day] (i.e., 3:00 pm).

לא יאכל אדם – in order that he would eat Matzah with an appetite because of the beautification/adorning of the Mitzvah/religious act. And bread, simply, he is not able to eat, for Hametz/leavened products are forbidden from the sixth hour and onward, but Matzah also [is forbidden] as we say in the Jerusalem Talmud that a person who eats Matzah on the eve of Passover is like who has engaged in sexual behavior with his betrothed in the house of his father-in-law , and [this prohibition] was not necessary, other than for other foods, so that he would not fill his stomach with them.

עד שיסב – on a bed or at the table in the manner that free people [eat].

ולא יפחתו לו – and those who distribute Tzedakah that supports the poor.

מד' כוסות – corresponding to the four languages of redemption that is found in the Torah portion of Vaera (Exodus 6:6-7): “I will take you out,” “I will save you,” I will redeem you,” and “I will take you [to be My people]....

ואפילו הוא מתפרנס מן התמחוי – that is the poorest of the poor as is taught in the Mishnah in the Tractate Peah (Chapter 8, Mishnah 7) - he who has food for two meals should not take from the soup-kitchen.

מברך על היום – At the beginning, the Sanctification of the Day and afterwards comes the wine, and since he Sanctified [the day] at its beginning [with the kindling of candles], so he should do before the blessing [on the wine].

מברך על היין – first [on the wine], and the same law applies to making Kiddush on bread, for the wine or the bread engender the Sanctification of the Day, and if he has no wine or bread, he should not recite Kiddush.
