Exodus 12:50 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 12:50

Thus did all the children of Israel ,.... They slew a lamb, and roasted and ate it, with unleavened bread, and bitter herbs, and took a bunch of hyssop, and dipped it in the blood, and struck the lintel and the side posts of the doors of their houses: this they did on the night of their deliverance out of Egypt: as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they ; being instructed by them; which is an instance of their ready and cheerful obedience to the divine will, which they were... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:50

Verse 50 50.Thus did all the children of Israel. This chiefly refers to the slaying of the Paschal lamb with its adjuncts, although I do not deny that allusion is also made to the other circumstances attending their sudden departure. But it is not so much their promptitude and alacrity which are praised, as the wondrous power of God in fashioning their hearts, and directing their hands, so that, in the darkness of the night, amidst the greatest disturbances, in precipitate haste, with nothing... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:43-51

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 Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:43-51

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:50

Thus did all the children of Israel — i.e; the Israelites, at their first passover, acted in accordance with these precepts, especially in admitting to the feast all circumcised persons, whether natives or foreigners, and rejecting all the uncircumcised. read more

Donald C. Fleming

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

"And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover; there shall no foreigner eat thereof; but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof. In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall... read more
