Exodus 12:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 12:14

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.
