The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-8

The Feast of the Passover. (For a reference to the minute points of difference, necessitated by different circumstances, between the first Passover and subsequent ones, see art. 'Passover,' in Smith's 'Bibl. Dict.;' see also the Exposition for its historical significance.) We now take for granted that all this is well understood by, and perfectly familiar to, the reader. Our purpose now is to "open up," not its historical meaning, nor even its symbolism for Israel, but its typical intent... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-8

The Passover, a memorial of deliverance. The institution of the Passover ( Exodus 12:1-51 .) was preliminary to their deliverance from Egypt, just as the Lord's Supper was preliminary to the death of Jesus Christ, which it was designed subsequently to commemorate. On the first occasion it was a sacrifice presented at home , as was most proper. But when the central altar was set up in Palestine, it became the center of the Passover festival, and to it the Jews in their multitudes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-8

The Passover a memorial and a prophecy. In a singular and a miraculous manner, the national existence of the Hebrews had commenced. God had signally interposed as their Champion, in a way altogether unparalleled. Without question, it was an event pregnant with vast issues to the history of mankind. Every opportunity was afforded Pharaoh to escape from destruction. The host of God, composed of natural forces and invisible powers, enclosed him gradually within narrower and narrower bounds,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-9

The Passover. The Passover was a sacrifice ( Exodus 12:2 ), and was connected with sacrifices ( Leviticus 23:5-8 ; Numbers 28:15-26 ); hence "flock and herd" ( Deuteronomy 16:2 ) covering the sacrifices of the seven days' feast. It was the sacrifice which mediated the new relationship established between Jehovah and the people on the night of the Exodus. There was a fitness, at so solemn a crisis in the history of the chosen nation, in the line of demarcation between them and the... read more

EXPOSITION CELEBRATION OF THE PASSOVER FESTIVAL , THE FEAST OF PENTECOST AND OF TABERNACLES . APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE AND PREVENTION OF IDOLATRY . (Comp.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:3

Bread of affliction ; bread such as is prepared in circumstances of trial and pressure, when there is no time or opportunity for the application of all the means required for the preparation of bread of the better sort. The Israelites had in haste and amid anxiety to prepare the Passover meal on the evening of their flight from Egypt, and so had to omit the leavening of their bread; and this usage they had to observe during the seven days of the festival in subsequent times, to remind them... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:4

No leavened bread ; properly, no leaven ( שְׂאֹר ) (cf. Exodus 12:15 ). Not only was no leavened bread ( מַחָּוז ) or dough ( חָמֵץ ) to be used by them, leaven itself was not to be in the house. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:5-6

Not in their own houses or places of abode might the Paschal lamb be slain and eaten, but only at the place, which the Lord should choose to place his Name there. On the first occasion, while the people were still in Egypt and had no sanctuary or specially holy place where Jehovah s Name was set, the Passover was eaten in their own houses; but when God should choose a place as his sanctuary, only there could the ordinance be observed. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:7

Thou shalt roast. The verb here primarily signifies to be matured by heat for eating; hence to be ripened as by the sun's heat ( Genesis 40:10 ; Joel 3:13 ; Hebrews 4:13 ); and to be cooked, whether by boiling, seething, or roasting. Here it is properly rendered by roast , as it was thus only that the Paschal lamb could be cooked. And go unto thy tents ; return to thy place of abode; not necessarily to thy proper home (which might be far distant), but to the place where for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:8

On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly. This is not placed in antithesis to the injunction, six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as if the Feast of Unleavened Bread ( mazzoth ) lasted only for six days and the seventh was to be devoted to a service of a different kind; it simply prescribes that the seventh day of the festival was to be celebrated by an assembling of the whole of those who had come to the feast; the festival was to be wound up with a day of holy convocation,... read more
