Compare all

25 It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, j^aust as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

26 ^aAnd it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

27 that you shall say, ^a‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’ ” So the people ^bbowed their heads and worshiped.

28 Then the children of Israel went away and ^adid so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

30 So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

Exodus 12:27

It is the sacrifice of the Lord' s passover - or This is the sacrifice of the Passover to Yahweh. The most formal and exact designation of the festival is thus given: but "the Passover" may mean either the act of God' s mercy in sparing the Israelites, or the lamb which is offered in sacrifice: more probably the latter, as in Exodus 12:21. This gives a clear sense to the expression "to Yahweh;" the Passover lamb was a sacrifice offered to Yahweh by His ordinance.
