What the Bible says about Passover Sacrifice
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Deuteronomy 16:2 This cannot be speaking of Passover because the Passover sacrifice is not selected "from the flock and the herd." It had to be a kid of the goats or a sheep—it could not come from the herd, meaning from cows. Instead, Moses is writing about a sacrifice on the first day of Unleavened Bread. John W.

Deuteronomy 16:5 Where was the Passover supposed to be sacrificed? At home! This sacrifice was not to be performed within their gates but somewhere else. John W. Ritenbaugh The Night to be Much Observed Related Topics: Night To Be Much Observed | Passover | Passover Sacrifice

Deuteronomy 16:7 The word "roast" (KJV) is mistranslated. The word here is bashal, which means "to boil." Was the sacrifice of the Passover allowed to be boiled? No, it was not. John W. Ritenbaugh The Night to be Much Observed Related Topics: Passover | Passover Sacrifice
