Exodus 12:27 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 12:21-28

I. Moses is here, as a faithful steward in God's house, teaching the children of Israel to observe all things which God had commanded him; and no doubt he gave the instructions as largely as he received them, though they are not so largely recorded. It is here added, 1. That this night, when the first-born were to be destroyed, no Israelite must stir out of doors till morning, that is, till towards morning, when they would be called to march out of Egypt, Exod. 12:22. Not but that the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:27

That ye shall say, it is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover ,.... This lamb is a sacrifice, both eucharistical, or by way of thanksgiving for their safety, when the firstborn of the Egyptians were slain, and for their deliverance out of Egypt; and also propitiatory, the blood of this lamb being a propitiation or atonement for all within the house where it was sprinkled, as before observed from Aben Ezra; and typical of the atoning sacrifice of Christ our passover, 1 Corinthians 5:7 and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:27

It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover - We have already intimated that the paschal lamb was an illustrious type of Christ; and we shall find that every thing in this account is typical or representative. The bondage and affliction of the people of Israel may be considered as emblems of the hard slavery and wretchedness consequent on a state of sinfulness. Satan reigns over both body and soul, bringing the whole into subjection to the law of sin and death; while various evil tempers,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-28

The institution of the Passover. Moses has now done with requesting and threatening Pharaoh. He leaves Pharaoh to the terrible smiting hand of Jehovah, and turns, when it is quite time to turn, to his own people. He who would not listen had to be left for those who would listen. It is now manifest that Moses is to be profitably occupied with matters which cannot any longer be delayed. It was needful to give warning concerning the death of the first-born to the Israelites quite as much as... read more

The Passover. "It is the Lord's Passover" ( Exodus 12:11 ). After Pharaoh's refusal to see Moses again, Jehovah comes more manifestly into the history, in the last judgment and deliverance of his people. Three great events crowd now into a single night, the Passover, the slaying of the first-born, the march out. Consider now the Passover. I. ITS NECESSITY . 1 . Israel must be separated from Egypt. This idea of separation runs through all Hebrew history from the time of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-29

The Passover. God's last and overwhelming blow was about to be struck at Egypt. In anticipation of that blow, and in immediate connection with the exodus, God gave directions for the observance of a Passover. I. THE PASSOVER IN ITS CONNECTION WITH THE HISTORY . For details of the ritual, see the verses of the chapter. 1 . The design of the Passover was to make plain to Israel the ground on which its salvation was bestowed—the ground, viz; of Atonement. "The more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:21-28

1 . The designation of the "hyssop," as the instrument, by which the blood was to be placed on the side-posts and lintel ( Exodus 12:22 ); and, 2 . The injunction not to quit the house "until the morning." These points may have been contained in the original directions, though omitted from the record for brevity; or they may have been added by Moses of his own authority. On the other hand, several very main points of the original directions are not repeated in the injunctions given... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:21-28

Israel and the sacrifice for sin. I. CHRIST SLAIN BY US . The lamb's blood was not only shed for them, but also by them. The crucifying of Jesus by the Jews, the revelation of what lies in every unrenewed heart. "They shall look upon him whom they have pierced." II. WHAT IS NEEDFUL FOR SALVATION . 1 . Appropriating faith. It was the blood applied with their own hands to the door of the dwelling that saved those within. It is not enough that the blood be shed.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:21-29

Christ our Passover. The Passover was an eminent type of Christ. It was probably to it the Baptist referred when he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John L 29). Paul gives a decisive utterance on the question in the words: "Christ our passover is sacrificed for us" ( 1 Corinthians 5:7 ). I. POINTS OF ANALOGY BETWEEN THE TRUE PASSOVER AND ITS TYPE . 1 . In both the death of a blameless victim. The lamb, physically... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:26-27

The obligation of men to teach the true meaning of rites and ceremonies to their children. The rites and ceremonies of a religion are liable to be misunderstood in two ways. 1 . They may be regarded as unimportant, trifling, nay, even as superstitious—a weight and an encumbrance on true vital religion. Or, 2 . They may be assigned more importance than is their due; considered to be that in which religion mainly consists, believed to have an inherent power and efficacy which is far... read more
