Exodus 12:13

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 12:1-51

Exodus 12:8 Christianity, considered as a moral system, is made up of two elements, beauty and severity; whenever either is indulged to the loss or disparagement of the other, evil ensues.... Even the Jews, to whom this earth was especially given, and who might be supposed to be at liberty without offence to satiate themselves in its gifts, were not allowed to enjoy it without restraint. Even the Paschal Lamb, their great typical feast, was eaten 'with bitter herbs'. Newman, Sermons on... read more

CHAPTER XII.THE PASSOVER.Exodus 12:1-28.We have now reached the birthday of the great Hebrew nation, and with it the first national institution, the feast of passover, which is also the first sacrifice of directly Divine institution, the earliest precept of the Hebrew legislation, and the only one given in Egypt.The Jews had by this time learned to feel that they were a nation, if it were only through the struggle between their champion and the head of the greatest nation in the world. And the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:1-51

THE PASSOVER FEAST (vs.1-28) The time finally arrives for the Lord to accomplish a work of amazing power in Egypt in the deliverance of a nation numbering over two million, from the bondage of Egypt. Speaking to Moses and Aaron, the Lord tells them that this month was to be to Israel the beginning of months, the first month of their year. A new beginning was to take place at this time, a beginning based on the value of the blood of the lamb of sacrifice (v.2). Clearly this is typical of the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:1-36

THE PASSOVER At the close of the tenth chapter Moses declares Pharaoh shall see his face no more, while in the eleventh he is present with him again. Therefore with the exception of the first three verses of chapter 11 the remainder must be a continuation of chapter 10. Let us consider it thus, taking up the questions in Exodus 11:1-3 in connection with chapter 12. THE LAST PLAGUE ANNOUNCED (Exodus 11:4-10 ) Hitherto God plagued Egypt mediately, but how was this plague to be distinguished... read more

The Preservation of the Israelites Exo 12:1-20 During the plague of hail, when the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, when the fire ran along upon the ground and the hail was so grievous that there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation, "Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail" "The Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." After the plague of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 12:13

Reader! do not overlook the doctrine of this verse, neither forget that it is twice named, here and in Exodus 12:7 , as if the Holy Ghost intended to teach us that the blood of the sacrifice must be applied as well as spilt. An unapplied ransom is no ransom. An unapplied Saviour is no Saviour. Hebrews 9:19-20 . How sweet that scripture when felt in the heart, applied by the Holy Ghost, 1 John 1:7 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:1-20

1-20 The Lord makes all things new to those whom he delivers from the bondage of Satan, and takes to himself to be his people. The time when he does this is to them the beginning of a new life. God appointed that, on the night wherein they were to go out of Egypt, each family should kill a lamb, or that two or three families, if small, should kill one lamb. This lamb was to be eaten in the manner here directed, and the blood to be sprinkled on the door-posts, to mark the houses of the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Exodus 12:1-36

Exo_12:1-36 . When Pharaoh heard Moses speak the words, commencing with "Thus saith the Lord" as recorded in Exodus 11.0 he was listening to the voice of God for the last time, though doubtless he did not know it. The preliminary judgments had run their course. The time for talking was over. Decisive action was now to start. Chapter 12 begins with the Lord speaking to Moses, but all, that He now has to say concerns the people, whom He had chosen as His own. There was now to take place an event... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 12:11-20

The Precept Pertaining to Unleavened Bread v. 11. And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, literally, "shod on your feet," and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste, in hasty flight, as such that were about to flee, in readiness for speedy flight. It is the Lord's Passover. These instructions concerned the celebration in Egypt and were afterward dropped as unessential. Only the name for the festival, the Passover of the Lord, was not... read more
