Deuteronomy 16:2

_THOU SHALT THEREFORE SACRIFICE THE PASSOVER UNTO THE LORD THY GOD, OF THE FLOCK AND THE HERD, IN THE PLACE WHICH THE LORD SHALL CHOOSE TO PLACE HIS NAME THERE._ Thou shalt ... sacrifice the Passover, х_ PECACH_ (H6453) ... _ TSO'N_ (H6629) _ UWBAAQAAR_ (H1241); Septuagint, thuseis to pascha kurioo too Theoo sou probata kai boas]. The reference is not to the paschal lamb, which was strictly and properly the Passover.

They must rejoice in their receivings from God, and in their returns of service and sacrifice to him; our duty must be our delight, as well as our enjoyment. If those who were under the law must rejoice before God, much more we that are under the grace of the gospel; which makes it our duty to rejoice evermore, to rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in God ourselves, we should do what we can to assist others also to rejoice in him, by comfo...

The cardinal point on which the whole of the prescriptions in this chapter turn, is evidently the same as has been so often insisted on in the previous chapters, namely, the concentration of the religious services of the people round one common sanctuary. The prohibition against observing the great Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and tabernacle, the three annual epochs in the sacred year of the Jew, at home and in private, is reiterated in a variety of words no less than six times in the first sixteen verses of this chapter Deuteronomy 16:2, Deuteronomy 16:6, Deuteronomy 16:11, Deuteron
