L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 16:1-22

INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE PASSOVER (vs.1-8) The Passover, held in the first month of the year, was to celebrate Israel's deliverance from Egypt (v.1), but more importantly, to look forward to the death of the Lord Jesus -- "Christ our Passover.... sacrificed for us" (1 Corinthians 5:7). Of course, Israel did not understand that spiritual significance, but God did. The first Passover was held in Egypt (Exodus 12:1-51), the second in the wilderness (Numbers 9:5), the third in the plains of... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-22

CONDITIONS OF BLESSING PLACES OF WORSHIP (Deuteronomy 12:0 ) In Canaan, what were the Israelites to destroy and how thoroughly was the work to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-3 )? What contrast were they to place between themselves and the heathen in public worship (Deuteronomy 12:4-7 )? Did this apply to the same extent in the wilderness, and if not, why not (Deuteronomy 12:8-14 )? What exception was made as to their private and domestic affairs (Deuteronomy 12:15-16 )? What were they not at... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 16:1-22

Conditions of Worship Deuteronomy 16:0 The time is specified, and the reason is given. This is the law, rather than a mere accident. The law is: that every month has a memory, every day has a story, every night has a star all its own. Selected instances help us to ascertain general principles. Acting upon those instances, we become familiar with their spirit and moral genius, so much so that we begin to ask, Are there not other memorable events? Are there not other times of deliverance? Have... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-8

The HOLY GHOST hath evidently shown his divine approbation of the observance of the typical representation of JESUS'S sufferings and death, as our Paschal Lamb, by the frequent mention of it. This was largely set forth, Exodus 12:0 . but here it is again repeated. It is sweet to the believer to reflect, that in ages so remote, and at so long a period before the coming of JESUS, the representation of our deliverance by him should be shadowed out in the church. Reader! do you really and truly... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:7

Dress, ( coques .) Hebrew bashal means frequently, to boil, and sometimes to roast, as it must here, if it refer to the paschal lamb; the other victims might however be boiled, and the Septuagint use both expressions, "Thou shalt boil and roast." See 2 Paralipomenon xxxv. 13. It seems that Moses speaks only of the lamb, the method of preparing which he had abundantly explained before. (Calmet) --- Hebrew has not it, and of course the passage may be understood of all the victims offered on... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 16:1-17

1-17 The laws for the three yearly feasts are here repeated; that of the Passover, that of the Pentecost, that of Tabernacles; and the general law concerning the people's attendance. Never should a believer forget his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price it cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingled with sorrow for sin, and patience under the tribulations in his way to the kingdom of heaven. They must rejoice in their receivings from God, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 16:1-8

Of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread v. 1. Observe The month of Abib, the first month of the church-pear, and keep the Passover unto the Lord, thy God, on the fourteenth of the month; for in the-month of Abib the Lord, thy God, brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. Cf Exodus 12; Leviticus 23; Numbers 9. v. 2. Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the Passover unto the Lord, thy God, of the flock and the herd, for the offerings of the entire week, especially those of the first day... read more

And this is the manner [word] of the release [what is said therein]: Every creditor that lendeth aught unto his neighbour1 shall release it; he shall not exact [press his, sq.] it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called [for called is] the Lord’s release. 3Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [urge, press] it again: but that which Isaiah 4:0... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 16:1-22

As the section dealing with the statutes commenced with the place of worship, it closed with the restatement of the importance of the great feasts which by their annual recurrence set the whole year in relation to worship. The year commenced with the Passover. Thus at the beginning the Hebrews were reminded of how their true national existence resulted from their deliverance by God out of Egypt's bondage. The Passover feast must be maintained in the land and observed at the proper center of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 16:7-12

The Passover and the Feast of Sevens (Deuteronomy 16:7-12 ). Deuteronomy 16:7-8 is part of the chiasmus for the feast of sevens, and yet it continues on smoothly from Deuteronomy 16:1-6. But remembering that we shall now consider them along with the Feast of Sevens (the one day feast of weeks or harvest or firstfruits) in relation to them. This feast occurred ‘seven sevens’ (of days) after the feast of unleavened bread. Unlike the other ‘seven day’ feasts this was a one day feast. Strictly... read more
