Yetziat Mitzrayim as a bedikat Sota
The nations accused the Jews of imorrality. 'Im be'gufan hayu sholtin, kol she'chen be'nishotehem.' - 'If they were in charge of their bodies, how much more so of their wives.'
Just as when we left Egypt and Hashem had Moshe send a bitter branch into the waters to test the Jews as you would a sotah, so to we do this every year in miniature.
For this reason, Hashem checks us like a sotah each year to show
'Pischa' is the same letters as 'chaspa' - Pesach is the same letters as 'pottery'. This coressponds to the pottery cup that the sota would drink from.
You have to place something bitter inside the sota water, this is the marror.
The matza corresponds with hashems name that would go in the water.
The omer on pesach was from barley, like the korban sotah, and was waved, just as the korban sotah was.
