Exodus 12:17

_AND YE SHALL OBSERVE THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD; FOR IN THIS SELFSAME DAY HAVE I BROUGHT YOUR ARMIES OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT: THEREFORE SHALL YE OBSERVE THIS DAY IN YOUR GENERATIONS BY AN ORDINANCE FOR EVER._ Ye shall observe ... The seven days of this feast were to commence the day after the Passover. It was a distinct festival following that feast; but although this feast was instituted, like the Passover, before the departure, the observance of it did not take place until after. FOR IN THIS SELF-SAME DAY HAVE I BROUGHT YOUR ARMIES OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, [Septuagint, exaxoo teen dunamin humoon] - will I lead out your hosts....

1-20 The Lord makes all things new to those whom he delivers from the bondage of Satan, and takes to himself to be his people. The time when he does this is to them the beginning of a new life. God appointed that, on the night wherein they were to go out of Egypt, each family should kill a lamb, or that two or three families, if small, should kill one lamb. This lamb was to be eaten in the manner here directed, and the blood to be sprinkled on the door-posts, to mark the houses of the Israelites from those of the Egyptians. The angel of the Lord, when destroying the first-born of the Egyptians, would pass over the houses marked by the blood of the lamb: hence the name of this holy feast or ordinance. The passover was to be kept every year, both as a remembrance of Israel's preservation and deliverance out of Egypt, and as a remarkable type of Christ. Their safety and deliverance were no...

Verse Exodus 12:17. _SELF - SAME DAY_] בעצם _beetsem_, in the body of this day, or in the strength of this day; probably they began their march about day-break, called here the _body_ or _strength_ of the day, and in Deuteronomy 16:1, _by night _- sometime before the sun rose....

FIRST INSTITUTION OF THE PASSOVER. EXPOSITION THE INSTITUTION OF THE PASSOVER AND THE REASONS FOR IT.—In the interval allowed by God, according to the precedent of former announced plagues, between the warning concerning the first-born and the execution, Moses received instructions for the institution of a new religious rite,_ _founded possibly upon some previous national usage, but so re-shaped, re-cast, and remodelled as to have an entirely new and fresh character. In all Eastern nations, the coming in of spring was observed as a jocund and festive time, with offerings, processions, and songs of rejoicings. When the date of the vernal equinox was known, it was naturally made the starting-point f

AND YE SHALL OBSERVE THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD,.... Which was a distinct feast from the passover feast; for though at that unleavened bread was eaten, it was kept but one night, this seven days; and it is repeated that it might be taken notice of, and the rather, as it was to be observed in all ages as long as the Jewish economy lasted; the reason of which follows: FOR IN THIS SELFSAME DAY HAVE I BROUGHT YOUR ARMIES OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; which, though not already done, was just on doing, and was certain; and besides, it respects the day when it should come about another year: by their "armies" are meant the tribes of Israel, not so much for their military force, for as yet they were an unarmed people, but for their numbers, which were sufficient to make several considerable armies, and for their order and ease, and their being without any fear of the enemy, in which they marched...

Exodus 12:1. _And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you._ And for this reason that, now, as a nation, they were to begin their separate history, separate in existence from all the rest of mankind. Exodus 12:3. _Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house: and if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb._ The separation of the lamb was to take p

I HAVE BROUGHT OUT— This translation may be proper, as God may truly be said to have done what he has fully proposed and decreed to do. But perhaps it might have been as well rendered, in agreement with several of the versions, _I will bring out,_ or _I am about to bring out._ REFLECTIONS.—The deliverance of Israel advances. Orders are issued out concerning their departure, and the preparations for it. As they are now to begin new lives, they are to count from this day the new year. _Note;_ That is emphatically our birth-day, and the beginning of years, in which we begin to escape from sin, and live to God. 1. The passover is instituted, with particular directions for present and future use; and the days of unleavened bread are to follow, in memory of this great event, their escape from the house of their prison. We must begin with God, whatever haste of business is upon our hands. 2....

THE TEXT OF EXODUS TRANSLATION 12 AND JE-HO-VAH SPAKE UNTO MO-SES AND AAR-ON IN THE LAND OF E-GYPT, SAYING, (2) THIS MONTH SHALL BE UNTO YOU THE BEGINNING OF MONTHS; IT SHALL BE THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR TO YOU. (3) SPEAK YE UNTO ALL THE CONGREGATION OF IS-RA-EL, SAYING, IN THE TENTH _day_ of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers-' houses, a lamb for a household: (4) and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.
