Exodus 12:21
Excerpted from: Passover (Part 5)

Now we have to narrow it down even further. Did Moses get instruction from God and then blow the silver trumpets, and everybody gathered around? No, that is not the way that it worked because we find...

God spoke to Moses. Moses called for the elders. The elders then went back to their tribes, and they spoke to the people. So we have to begin to allow some time for the word to get out to the elders, and then for the elders to get back to Moses. Next, Moses had to communicate to the elders. The elders then had to go back to their tribes, and communicate it to all the families in the tribe. That was their communication system. (And they used it frequently, throughout the entirety of the Exodus.)

Excerpted from: Deuteronomy 16, Passover, and the Night to be Much Observed

Do you see what that says? After killing the lamb, dashing its blood upon the doorposts and then roasting the lamb, the Israelites were specifically warned to remain in their houses until morning. This sets up a physical impossibility for the 15th Passover folks. One cannot remain in one's house on the 14th and flee Egypt on exactly the same day.

Excerpted from: The Scepter, Duty, and the Days of Unleavened Bread

We of course have read these scriptures a number of times. They are a clear message of what our responsibility is once we have been placed within the household of God: We are to stay within it in service to the Body.
