Christ his people's salvation and strength. I. THE MEANS OF SAFETY , Exodus 12:7-13 ). 1 . They took the blood and struck it on the door posts and the lintel. We must appropriate Christ's atonement. We must say by faith, "he died for me." 2 . They passed within the blood-stained portals. Christ's blood must stand between us and condemnation, between us and sin. Our safety lies in setting that between oar soul and them. The realising of Christ's death for our sins is,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:9

Eat not of it raw . The injunction appears to moderns superfluous; but an ὠμοφαγία , or eating of the raw flesh of victims sacrificed, seems to have been practised by several heathen nations in ancient times, more especially in the worship of Dionysus or Bacchus. Its head with its legs . The lamb was to be roasted whole—according to some, as a symbol of the unity of Israel, and especially of the political unit which they were to become so soon as they quitted Egypt; but, as we learn... read more

Raw - i. e. “half-cooked.”Sodden ... with water - It was probably more common to seethe meat than to roast meat; hence, the regrets expressed by the Israelites for the seething pots of Egypt.The purtenance thereof - or its intestines. This verse directs that the lamb should be roasted and placed on the table whole. No bone was to be broken (see Exodus 12:46, and margin reference).

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 12:8-9

Exodus 12:8-9. Eat it not raw Nor half dressed; but roast with fire Not only because it might be sooner roasted than boiled, and they were in haste to be gone; but because it was thus the better type of him who endured the fierceness of divine wrath for us, Lamentations 1:13. Unleavened bread Partly to remind them of their hardships in Egypt, unleavened bread being more heavy and unsavoury; and partly to commemorate their hasty deliverance, which did not allow them time to leaven it,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:1-36

The Passover (12:1-36)Until now the Israelites had escaped the judgment of the plagues without having to do anything, but now their safety depended on their carrying out God’s commands. Redemption involves faith and obedience.Each family would be delivered from judgment only by killing a sacrificial animal as substitute for it, and sprinkling the animal’s blood on the door of the house where the family lived. The sprinkled blood indicated to those outside that a substitutionary sacrifice had... read more

"And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and upon the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:9

Exodus 12:9. Eat not of it raw, &c.— Particular caution is here given, that the lamb should be roasted with fire; that he should be roasted whole: his head, with his legs, and all which pertains to him. It was not to be eaten raw; that is rare, or half-roasted: it was to be thoroughly done, none of the blood remaining in it; in opposition (as Spencer thinks) to what the Egyptians did in the worship of Bacchus, i.e. Osiris, when they ate raw flesh: nor sodden with water, as they used in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 12:1-14

Directions for the Passover 12:1-14The Jews called their first month Abib (Exodus 12:2). After the Babylonian captivity they renamed it Nisan (Nehemiah 2:1; Esther 3:7). It corresponds to our March-April. Abib means "ear-month" referring to the month when the grain was in the ear."The reference to the Passover month as the ’lead month,’ ’the first of the year’s months’ is best understood as a double entendre. On the one hand, the statement may be connected with an annual calendar, but on the... read more
