Exodus 12:48 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 12:43-51

Some further precepts are here given concerning the passover, as it should be observed in times to come. I. All the congregation of Israel must keep it, Exod. 12:47. All that share in God's mercies should join in thankful praises for them. Though it was observed in families apart, yet it is looked upon as the act of the whole congregation; for the smaller communities constituted the greater. The New-Testament passover, the Lord's supper, ought not to be neglected by any who are capable of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:48

And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, Who by so doing became a proselyte of the gate, he observing the commands of the sons of Noah: and will keep the passover of the Lord ; is desirous of being admitted to that ordinance: let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near, and keep it : first himself, and then all his male children and male servants, and then, and not till then, he might approach to this ordinance, and observe it; for by this means he would become a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:41-50

Passover precepts realised in Christian practice. The precepts were:— I. THAT NO UNCIRCUMCISED STRANGER , NOT EVEN THOUGH A HIRED SERVANT IN A HEBREW FAMILY , SHOULD EAT OF IT . Formally, baptism corresponds to circumcision, both of them admitting into covenant with God; and thus the rule of Christian communities generally, that the reception of baptism must precede that of the Lord's Supper, is a carrying out of this precept. But it is also carried... read more

1 . The absolute exclusion of all uncircumcised persons from participation in the passover rite; 2 . The extension of the rite (implied in Exodus 23:19 ) to all full proselytes; and, 3 . The injunction that not a bone of the lamb should be broken. (This last is repeated in Numbers 9:12 ) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:43-51

The spirit of the Passover ordinance. The features to be specified reappear in the Lord's Supper. The ordinance was— I. EXCLUSIVE . ( Exodus 12:43 , Exodus 12:45 , Exodus 12:48 .) A stranger, an uncircumcised person, and a hired servant, were not to be permitted to oat of it. Their relation to Israel was wholly external. In like manner, the Lord's Supper is exclusive. It excludes the stranger to the death of Christ, the uncircumcised in heart, and those who sustain a merely... read more

The Law of the Passover. I. WHAT GOD REQUIRES IN ITS OBSERVANCE . 1 . God demands purity of communion. No stranger is to cat of it. 2 . It is not to be carried out from the midst of the household of faith. The peace and fellowship of the Gospel are only for the circumcised in heart. 3 . Communion with Christ to be characterised by reverence and holy awe: not a bone of him is to be broken. 4 . Every wall of partition is removed. All who believe have a right to... read more

And when a stranger , etc. Here we have the positive ordinance corresponding to the implied permission in Exodus 12:19 , and modifying in the most important and striking way the prohibitive enactment of Exodus 12:43 . The "stranger," even if he only "sojourned" in the land, was to be put on exactly the same spiritual footing as the Israelite ("One law shall be," etc.) if only he and his would be circumcised, and so enter into covenant, read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 12:45-48

Exodus 12:45 ; Exodus 12:48. A hired servant Unless he submit to be circumcised. All the congregation of Israel must keep it Though it was observed in families apart, yet it is looked upon as the act of the whole congregation. And so the New Testament passover, the Lord’s supper, ought not to be neglected by any that are capable of celebrating it. No stranger that was uncircumcised might eat of it. Neither may any now approach the Lord’s supper who have not first submitted to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:37-51

The Israelites leave Egypt (12:37-51)Approximately 430 years after Jacob entered Egypt with his family, his nation of descendants departed (cf. Genesis 15:13; Genesis 46:6-7). A sizable group of non-Israelite people, including Egyptians and others who had intermarried or mingled with the Israelites, went with them (37-42). The Israelites were not to send these people back, but neither were they to lessen God’s requirements for joining in religious festivals simply to suit these foreigners.... read more
