Exodus 12:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 12:1

The Passover Instituted

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 ^a“This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the ^atenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.

4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be ^awithout blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

6 Now you shall keep it until the ^afourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that ^anight; ^broasted in fire, with ^cunleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but ^aroasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails.
