Exodus 12:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 12:8

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.

10 ^aYou shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.

11 And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. ^aIt is the Lord’s Passover.

12 ‘For I ^awill pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and ^bagainst all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: ^cI am the Lord.

13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

14 ‘So this day shall be to you ^aa memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a ^bfeast ^cby an everlasting ordinance.

15 ^aSeven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, ^bthat person shall be cut off from Israel.

16 On the first day there shall be ^aa holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you.

17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for ^aon this same day I will have brought your¹ armies ^bout of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.

18 ^aIn the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.

19 For ^aseven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.

20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’ ”

21 Then ^aMoses called for all the ^belders of Israel and said to them, ^c“Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
