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

the Feast of Unleavened Bread Exodus 12:15-28 The inmate of the house did not see the sprinkled blood. It was not necessary to be always going forth to look at it. It was clearly not a matter for his emotion or his intelligence. It was an accomplished fact, and it was enough for God to see it: “When I see the blood I will pass over.” Abide thou in Christ. It is not necessary to try to understand, or feel; just be quiet and trust the finished work and the sworn promise of God. He hath said:... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:1-51

While the subjects necessarily intermingle at this point, we turn from the contemplation of the judgments of Jehovah in dealing with Pharaoh to that of deliverance in His dealings with Israel. As these people were now to pass into national constitution, the calendar was altered. A rite was established which was called an ordinance, a feast, a sacrifice. Thus at the very beginning the nation was reminded that it was rooted in the fact of deliverance wrought by God through sacrifice. The story... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:15-20

Instructions Concerning the Later Feast of Unleavened Bread (Exodus 12:15-20 ). These instructions had the future in mind. They would not be in their houses in order to observe it in Egypt, although it may well have been a feast that they previously observed. But now it was to be directly connected with the Passover, and with the haste in which they left Egypt. a They were to eat unleavened bread for seven days, and on the first day put all unleavened bread out of their houses, for whoever... read more

Exodus 12:14-Proverbs : . P’ s Rules for Mazzoth.— Immediately following the one feast of the Passover came the seven-day pilgrimage feast ( cf. Exodus 5:1) of Unleavened Cakes, probably originally an agricultural festival to mark the beginning of barley harvest (pp. 102f.) Falling at the time of year when the Exodus took place, it received a commemorative interpretation, which the plain and quickly prepared mazzoth fitted. The ritual prejudice against leaven ( Exodus 12:15) extended to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:19

A stranger, to wit, a proselyte; for strangers unconverted to the Jewish religion were not obliged nor admitted to the celebration of the passover or feast of unleavened bread. Though I see no inconvenience, if all strangers, though heathens, were forbidden to have or use any unleavened bread at that time, lest the Jews who conversed with them might be tempted to desire or partake of it with them. In the land, to wit, of Canaan, which I have promised to you, and to which I am now leading you,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 12:14-20

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 12:14-20THE SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPERI. It is the memorial of a glorious fact. The Passover was commemorative of the safety of the children of Israel when the destroying angel passed through the land, and also of their deliverance from the bondage of Egypt. And so the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is commemorative of important facts in the moral history of men. It is a memorial of the death of Christ upon the cross, and of the freedom then rendered... read more
