Exodus 12:46 - Exposition

In one house shall it be eaten . Compare the directions in Exodus 12:3-10 , which imply this, and see the comment on Exodus 12:10 . Neither shall ye break a bone of it. Kalisch thinks that the lamb was a symbol of the unity of the nation, and was therefore not to have any of its bones broken. This view may be a true one, without being exhaustive. It may have been to mark the unity of the Church in Christ that his bones were not broken, and in view especially of that unity, that the type was made to correspond in this particular with the antitype. (See John 19:33-36 .)
