The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:14-20

The Passover feast the type of the Christian life. I. THE CHRISTIAN 'S LIFE IS AN UNCEASING FESTIVAL . 1 . It is unending, deepening joy. Other joys fade, this brightens. 2 . It is a growing appropriation of the Lamb of God. Our union with him grows ever closer, fuller. Is this our experience? A nominal Christianity will never save us. Are we feeding on Jesus? Are we in. him and be in us? II. IT IS THE KEEPING IN REMEMBRANCE OF A PAST ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:19

This is not a mere "vain repetition" of Exodus 12:15 . It adds an important extension of the punitive clause—"that soul shall be cut off from Israel"—from Israelites proper to proselytes. We are thus reminded, at the very time when Israel is about to become a nation and to enter upon its inheritance of exclusive privileges, that no exclusion of the Gentries by reason of race or descent was ever contemplated by God, either at the giving of the law, or at any other time. In Abraham all the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:19

Born in the land - A stranger or foreigner might be born in the land, but the word here used means “a native of the land,” belonging to the country by virtue of descent, that descent being reckoned from Abraham, to whom Canaan was promised as a perpetual inheritance. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 12:14-20

Exodus 12:14-20. This shall be to you for a memorial It was to be annually observed as a feast to the Lord in their generations, to which the feast of unleavened bread was annexed. A holy convocation Such solemn festivals were called convocations, because the people were then assembled by sound of trumpet to attend the rites and ordinances of divine worship. The first day was to be a holy convocation, because of the feast of the passover; and the seventh, as being that day, after their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:1-36

The Passover (12:1-36)Until now the Israelites had escaped the judgment of the plagues without having to do anything, but now their safety depended on their carrying out God’s commands. Redemption involves faith and obedience.Each family would be delivered from judgment only by killing a sacrificial animal as substitute for it, and sprinkling the animal’s blood on the door of the house where the family lived. The sprinkled blood indicated to those outside that a substitutionary sacrifice had... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 12:15-20

Directions for the Feast of Unleavened Bread 12:15-20The Feast of Unleavened Bread began with the Passover meal and continued for seven more days (Exodus 12:15). The bread that the Jews used contained no leaven (yeast), which made it like a cracker rather than cake in its consistency. The Old Testament uses leaven as a symbol of sin often. Leaven gradually permeates dough, and it affects every part of the dough. Here it not only reminded the Israelites in later generations that their ancestors... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:1-51

The Institution of the Passover. The Tenth Plague, and the Departure of Israel1. In the land of Egypt] These words suggest that what follows was written independently of the foregoing narrative, and an examination of this chapter shows that it contains two separate accounts of the institution of the Passover, one extending from Exodus 12:1-20, the other from Exodus 12:21-28. The latter is the proper continuation of Exodus 11.2. The beginning of months] The exodus is regarded as an... read more
