Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:21-28

Exodus 12:21-Daniel : J, Exodus 12:28 P. Rules for the Passover (second set) (for analysis see Exodus 11:1).— These verses, though they come second, embody in the main J’ s account of the institution, which P has elaborated in Exodus 12:1-1 Chronicles : , adding many details, but not mentioning the hyssop, or the basin, or the confinement to the house. Hyssop was a wall or rock plant ( 1 Kings 4:33), with pliant twigs, probably marjoram, a branch of which made a simple sprinkler for rites... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 12:1-51

Exodus 12:2. The first month of the year. This is called Abib, Exodus 13:4; and Nisan, Esther 3:7. It was before the seventh month, hence the earth is supposed to have been created in September; but now in commemoration of their deliverance from Egypt, the ecclesiastical table which regulated the festivals, was ordered to begin with Abib. Many nations have reckoned their existence from some important era in their history: and in this view it was highly proper for the christian church to... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Exodus 12:24-25

Exodus 12:24-25Ye shall keep this service.Celebration of the PassoverI. In this incident we have a clear recognition of the principle of vicarious suffering. It is seen in the birth of the infant, in the history of the family circle, in the events of everyday life, but supremely in the Cross of Christ.

There is the innocent dying for the guilty, the God-man suffering for the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:1-30

THE TEN PLAGUES, Exodus 7:8 to Exodus 12:30. Moses and Aaron now stand before Pharaoh as ministers of judgment, and the conflict opens between Jehovah and the gods of Egypt. The first contest between the messengers of Jehovah and the magicians, or enchanters, who are regarded as the servants of the false gods, given in Exodus 7:8-13, is properly the opening scene of the struggle, and is therefore here included in the section with it. Several general observations on the whole subject are most... read more
