Exodus 12:11

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 12:11

Thus shall ye eat it, to wit, for this time, because their circumstances required it, that they being suddenly to take a great journey, might be in a traveller’s habit. But that these, and some other circumstances now enjoined and used, were only temporary, and not perpetual nor obligatory, sufficiently appears from the practice not only of the Jews in following ages, but also of Christ and of his apostles. And in like manner there are some institutions in the New Testament which did only... 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

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: and if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it, according to the number of the souls: every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first... read more

passover The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer Exodus 12:1-28; John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:6; 1 Corinthians 5:7; 1 Peter 1:18; 1 Peter 1:19. (1) The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up for four days Exodus 12:5; Exodus 12:6. So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved his holiness ; Luke 11:53; Luke 11:54; John 8:46; John 18:38. (2) The Lamb thus tested must be slain Exodus 12:6; John 12:24; Hebrews 9:22. (3) The blood must be... read more

Chapter 12The Lord 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 ( Exodus 12:1-2 ).Now in a few weeks the Jews are gonna be celebrating New Year's, Rosh Hashana. How come they're celebrating New Year's now, if this month April was to be the first month of the year? Well, they have a religious calendar. Their religious year begins in April. Then they have just the regular year by which... 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

With your loins girded. ] As pressed and intent to the service. So we should be at all times, but especially when to depart out of the Egypt of this life, and to take heaven by force. Then, if ever, we should hoc agere, "gird up the loins of our minds," &c. 1Pe 1:13 And ye shall eat it in haste. ] As not... read more
