B.—The divine ordinance of the passoverExodus 12:1-201, 2And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In [On] the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers [according to households], a lamb for a house: 4And if the household be too little for the [a]... read more

Exodus THE PASSOVER: AN EXPIATION AND A FEAST, A MEMORIAL AND A PROPHECY Exo_12:1 - - Exo_12:14 . The Passover ritual, as appointed here, divides itself into two main parts-the sprinkling of the sacrificial blood on the door-posts and lintels, and the feast on the sacrifice. These can best be dealt with separately. They were separated in the later form of the ritual; for, when there was a central sanctuary, the lambs were slain there, and the blood sprinkled, as in other expiatory... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 12:1-14

the Passover Lamb and its Sprinkled Blood Exodus 12:1-14 Henceforth, for Israel, there was to be a new beginning of the year. We should date our birthdays not from the cradle, but from the Cross. The Paschal Lamb was an evident foreshadowing of Christ. See 1 Corinthians 5:7 . (1). He was without blemish. Searched by friend and foe, no fault was found in Him. (2). He was in His prime, when He laid down His life. (3). Set apart at the opening of His ministry, it took three years to consummate... 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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Exodus 12:1-13

The Blood of the Cross in Exodus Exodus 12:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Today we will consider the Cross as it is set forth in the Book of Exodus. Of course, we cannot go into detail, but we will endeavor to make the study illuminating. When the rays of the sun have been focused through a prism they become very hot, so our effort will be to focus the rays of God's Word upon this one theme: the Blood. By way of introduction we will consider Moses as the type of Christ. 1. Moses was a child of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:1-13

Exodus 12:1-1 Chronicles : P. Rules for the Passover (first set).— On the history of the Passover, see pp. 102f. Most ceremonial rules are dated from Sinai or the land of Moab: so these that follow are noted in Exodus 12:1 as given in Egypt. The first month ( Exodus 12:2) is in J, E, and D Abib, and later ( Nehemiah 2:1) Nisan. As the Quakers dropped the names of the days of the week on account of their pagan origin, so P avoids the Canaanitish or Phœ nician names, using numbers only, as in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:13

A token, both to you, as he now said, a sign and a pledge to confirm your faith in the expectation of the promised deliverance; and to the angel, that he may know and pass over your houses, as the following words intimate. See Poole on "Exodus 12:7". This is spoken of God after the manner of men; the sense is, If I find that you keep the condition which I require, you may expect the privilege which I have promised you; otherwise not. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 12:3-13

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 12:3. The house of their fathers.] More exactly: “a father’s house.” The designation naturally imports “family” in the larger sense of “family of families,” the entire group formed by the union of grown-up sons and daughters with their children under the ancestral roof. Only in the event of this group being too small for a lamb, were mere neighbours to unite.—Exodus 12:6. Whole assembly of the congregation.] Here, at the very outset of Hebrew national history, is an... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:13

Exodus 12:13 Our interest in the Passover, as in most of the other institutions of the Levitical economy, consists in its relationship to higher institutions, and to a more hallowed provision; it consists in the prefiguration by them of our Surety and Saviour, who is at once the Surety and Saviour of universal man. There are three points in the analogy to be considered. I. We, like the children of Israel aforetime, are in circumstances of sorrow. (1) They were in bondage. We also have been... read more
