The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 12:1-51

The Preservation of the Israelites Exo 12:1-20 During the plague of hail, when the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast, when the fire ran along upon the ground and the hail was so grievous that there had been none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation, "Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail" "The Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." After the plague of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 12:14

Sweet memorial! and well may it be a feast when we celebrate that precious death which is the life of the soul. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 ; Isaiah 25:6-9 . Well may we keep it forever, and cry out, Lord, evermore give us this bread. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:14

This day. The Jews assert, that as their fathers were delivered out of Egypt on the 15th of Nisan, so Israel will be redeemed on that day by the Messias; which has been literally verified in Jesus Christ. --- Everlasting. This is what will be done with respect to our Christian passover, (Calmet) of which the Jewish was a figure, designed to subsist as long as their republic. (Menochius) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:1-20

1-20 The Lord makes all things new to those whom he delivers from the bondage of Satan, and takes to himself to be his people. The time when he does this is to them the beginning of a new life. God appointed that, on the night wherein they were to go out of Egypt, each family should kill a lamb, or that two or three families, if small, should kill one lamb. This lamb was to be eaten in the manner here directed, and the blood to be sprinkled on the door-posts, to mark the houses of the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Exodus 12:1-36

Exo_12:1-36 . When Pharaoh heard Moses speak the words, commencing with "Thus saith the Lord" as recorded in Exodus 11.0 he was listening to the voice of God for the last time, though doubtless he did not know it. The preliminary judgments had run their course. The time for talking was over. Decisive action was now to start. Chapter 12 begins with the Lord speaking to Moses, but all, that He now has to say concerns the people, whom He had chosen as His own. There was now to take place an event... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 12:11-20

The Precept Pertaining to Unleavened Bread v. 11. And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, literally, "shod on your feet," and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste, in hasty flight, as such that were about to flee, in readiness for speedy flight. It is the Lord's Passover. These instructions concerned the celebration in Egypt and were afterward dropped as unessential. Only the name for the festival, the Passover of the Lord, was not... read more

B.—The divine ordinance of the passoverExodus 12:1-201, 2And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In [On] the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers [according to households], a lamb for a house: 4And if the household be too little for the [a]... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Exodus 12:1-14

Exodus THE PASSOVER: AN EXPIATION AND A FEAST, A MEMORIAL AND A PROPHECY Exo_12:1 - - Exo_12:14 . The Passover ritual, as appointed here, divides itself into two main parts-the sprinkling of the sacrificial blood on the door-posts and lintels, and the feast on the sacrifice. These can best be dealt with separately. They were separated in the later form of the ritual; for, when there was a central sanctuary, the lambs were slain there, and the blood sprinkled, as in other expiatory... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 12:1-14

the Passover Lamb and its Sprinkled Blood Exodus 12:1-14 Henceforth, for Israel, there was to be a new beginning of the year. We should date our birthdays not from the cradle, but from the Cross. The Paschal Lamb was an evident foreshadowing of Christ. See 1 Corinthians 5:7 . (1). He was without blemish. Searched by friend and foe, no fault was found in Him. (2). He was in His prime, when He laid down His life. (3). Set apart at the opening of His ministry, it took three years to consummate... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:1-51

While the subjects necessarily intermingle at this point, we turn from the contemplation of the judgments of Jehovah in dealing with Pharaoh to that of deliverance in His dealings with Israel. As these people were now to pass into national constitution, the calendar was altered. A rite was established which was called an ordinance, a feast, a sacrifice. Thus at the very beginning the nation was reminded that it was rooted in the fact of deliverance wrought by God through sacrifice. The story... read more
