Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 12:4-6
"And if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next to his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats; and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.""According to every man's eating, ye... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 12:7-11
"And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and upon the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with... read more

Exodus 12:6. And ye shall keep it up, &c.— Keep it up apart from the flock. And the whole assembly shall kill it, i.e. any person of the whole assembly of Israel shall have liberty to kill it: the slaying of the passover was not appropriated to the priesthood, as the offering of the blood was. See Leviticus 2:5. It was to be killed in the evening; according to the Hebrew, between the two evenings. The first evening with the Hebrews, or, as we call it, afternoon, was calculated from the time... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:7
Exodus 12:7. They shall take of the blood, &c.— It appears, from Exo 12:22 that this ceremony was to be performed by dipping a bunch of hyssop into the blood of the lamb. It was peculiar to this first passover: and the reason of it is given in the 23rd verse. In after-times, when the children of Israel were settled, the passover was to be sacrificed only in the appointed place of public worship, when the blood was sprinkled by the priest on the altar, Deuteronomy 5:7. Leviticus 17:6. 2... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:8
Exodus 12:8. They shall eat the flesh in that night— That is to say, the night following the fourteenth, and beginning the fifteenth day; for we must not forget, that the Hebrew day commenced from the setting of the sun. The lamb was to be sacrificed the fourteenth, between three and six; but it was eaten on the fifteenth, i.e. in the beginning of it: whence the passover is said to be offered sometimes on the fourteenth, and sometimes on the fifteenth day: a remark, which may serve to reconcile... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:9
Exodus 12:9. Eat not of it raw, &c.— Particular caution is here given, that the lamb should be roasted with fire; that he should be roasted whole: his head, with his legs, and all which pertains to him. It was not to be eaten raw; that is rare, or half-roasted: it was to be thoroughly done, none of the blood remaining in it; in opposition (as Spencer thinks) to what the Egyptians did in the worship of Bacchus, i.e. Osiris, when they ate raw flesh: nor sodden with water, as they used in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:6
6. keep it up until the fourteenth day, c.—Being selected from the rest of the flock, it was to be separated four days before sacrifice and for the same length of time was Christ under examination and His spotless innocence declared before the world. kill it in the evening—that is, the interval between the sun's beginning to decline, and sunset, corresponding to our three o'clock in the afternoon. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:7
7. take of the blood, and strike it on the two side-posts, c.—as a sign of safety to those within. The posts must be considered of tents, in which the Israelites generally lived, though some might be in houses. Though the Israelites were sinners as well as the Egyptians, God was pleased to accept the substitution of a lamb—the blood of which, being seen sprinkled on the doorposts, procured them mercy. It was to be on the sideposts and upper doorposts, where it might be looked to, not on the... read more
