THE DELIVERANCE OF ISRAEL"And 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. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household.""And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron, in the land of Egypt ..." The plain meaning of this is that the... read more
"And if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next to his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats; and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.""According to every man's eating, ye... 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. Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with... read more
Exodus 12:3. In the tenth day of this month— It appears from Exo 12:6 that the passover was to be celebrated on the fourteenth day of the month. In after-times they did not begin their preparation till the thirteenth, or the day before the passover: but now, they are ordered to prepare on the tenth day of the month; not only because this being the first time of the celebration of the passover, they might require more time to prepare for a ceremony entirely new; but because, being to depart from... read more
Exodus 12:5. Your lamb shall be without blemish— It was an indispensable qualification in sacrifices, to be perfect, as the Hebrew has it, or without blemish. See Leviticus 20:24. This was not peculiar to the sacrifices offered to the true God. The heathens were no less careful in this respect. As the paschal lamb was a lively and expressive type of Jesus Christ, there is no doubt but the perfection of that Lamb of God was signified by this circumstance, 1Pe 1:19 while, at the same time, that... read more
Exodus 12:6. And ye shall keep it up, &c.— Keep it up apart from the flock. And the whole assembly shall kill it, i.e. any person of the whole assembly of Israel shall have liberty to kill it: the slaying of the passover was not appropriated to the priesthood, as the offering of the blood was. See Leviticus 2:5. It was to be killed in the evening; according to the Hebrew, between the two evenings. The first evening with the Hebrews, or, as we call it, afternoon, was calculated from the time... read more
Exodus 12:7. They shall take of the blood, &c.— It appears, from Exo 12:22 that this ceremony was to be performed by dipping a bunch of hyssop into the blood of the lamb. It was peculiar to this first passover: and the reason of it is given in the 23rd verse. In after-times, when the children of Israel were settled, the passover was to be sacrificed only in the appointed place of public worship, when the blood was sprinkled by the priest on the altar, Deuteronomy 5:7. Leviticus 17:6. 2... read more
3. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel—The recent events had prepared the Israelitish people for a crisis in their affairs, and they seem to have yielded implicit obedience at this time to Moses. It is observable that, amid all the hurry and bustle of such a departure, their serious attention was to be given to a solemn act of religion. a lamb for an house—a kid might be taken (Exodus 12:5). The service was to be a domestic one, for the deliverance was to be from an evil threatened to... read more
