The night to be much observed is commanded in the Bible, but Mr. Smith asks if this day has a deeper meaning than just commemorating the night Israel came out of Egypt. He then looks at passages in Genesis 15 and 17 and Paul's comment in Galatians 3:17 about the meaning of the 430 years mentioned in Exodus 12. From all of this, we see that this night connects to events in the life of Abraham where God promises to bring his descendants out of Egypt 430 years later.
