Exodus 12:21-28 - Exposition

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 to the elders, though there can be no doubt that they were communicated.
