<div>The Malbim in his introduction to 'arami oved avi' there explains this explicitly.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The passage of mikra bikkurim encapsulates the entire yetziat mitzraim story in Sh'mot. </div>
<div>For each phrase of mikra bikkurim, the baal haggadah 1) explains the aspect of the Mitzraim experience the phrase refers to</div><div>2) cites the pasuk in Sh'mot which relates to this matter. This is the use of "k'mo sheneemar" - what we</div>
<div>are saying now about a phrase in mikra bikkurim is like the following verse in Shmot .</div><div><br></div><div>In two places the baal haggada brings a midrashic explanation of a passage in parshat mikra bikkurim.</div>
<div>In these cases, the baal haggada brings a proof-text to support the midrashic explanation. The proof text</div><div>is introduced by "sheneemar" as is common in Rabbinic texts. The verse quoted is not a mere citation , </div>
<div>as in k'mo sheneemar, but a proof of the midrashic explanation.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The Malbim Haggada can be seen in hebrewbooks <a href="http://hebrewbooks.org/10814" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(35, 87, 195); ">http://hebrewbooks.org/10814</a></div>
