Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:14-20

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 12:15

Seven days, besides and after the day of eating the passover, which was a distinct feast, and no part of the feast of unleavened bread, shall ye eat unleavened bread, to remind them of their departure out of Egypt, which was so sudden that they had not leisure to leaven their dough. See Poole on "Exodus 12:8". That soul shall be cut off, either by excommunication, or by death to be inflicted by the magistrate, and, in case of his neglect, by God himself. Nor let any one think that this was too... 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

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

Exodus 12:15-19The feast of unleavened bread.The feast of unleavened bread; or, the ordinances of God, and the manner in which they should be observedThe feast of unleavened bread was a distinct ordinance from the Passover, though following immediately upon it. At this feast the Israelites were to eat unleavened bread; probably to commemorate the fact that they had left Egypt in such haste that they had no opportunity to leaven their dough, and were consequently obliged to eat unleavened cakes.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 12:15

Exo 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. Ver. 15. Ye shall put away leaven. ] All unsoundness in point of faith, and insincerity in point of practice.

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
