Exodus 12:45

_A FOREIGNER AND AN HIRED SERVANT SHALL NOT EAT THEREOF._ A foreigner, х_ TOWSHAAB_ (H8453)] - a stranger living in another country without the rights of citizenship (see the note at Exodus 12:19)....

43-51 In times to come, all the congregation of Israel must keep the passover. All that share in God's mercies should join in thankful praises for them. The New Testament passover, the Lord's supper, ought not to be neglected by any. Strangers, if circumcised, might eat of the passover. Here is an early indication of favour to the gentiles. This taught the Jews that their being a nation favoured by God, entitled them to their privileges, not their descent from Abraham. Christ our passover is sacrificed for us, 1 Corinthians 5:7; his blood is the only ransom for our souls; without the shedding of it there is no remission; without the sprinkling of it there can be no salvation. Have we, by faith in him, sheltered our souls from deserved vengeance under the protection of his atoning blood? Do we keep close to him, constantly depending upon him? Do we so profess our faith in the Redeemer, a...

Verse 45. _A FOREIGNER_] תושב _toshab_, from ישב _yashab_, to _sit down_ or _dwell_; one who is a mere _sojourner_, for the purpose of traffic, merchandise, c., but who is neither a proselyte of the _gate_ nor of the _covenant_. _AND A HIRED SERVANT_] Who, though he be bought with money, or has indented himself for a certain term to serve a Jew, yet has not become either a _proselyte of the gate_ or of the _covenant_. None of these shall eat of it, because _not circumcised _- not brought under the _bond_ of the covenant and not being under obligation to observe the Mosaic law, had no right to its privileges and blessings. Even under the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, he is the _author of eternal salvation_ only _to them who_ OBEY _him_, Hebrews 5:9; and those who become Christians are...

EXPOSITION SUPPLEMENTARY ORDINANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE PASSOVER. The position of these verses is curious. We should have expected them to have followed immediately on Exodus 12:20, or else to have been reserved for the further consideration of the subject in Exodus 23:1. It is suggested, in order to account for their place, that they formed the matter of a special revelation made to Moses at Succoth. They comprise three main points:— 1. The absolute exclusion of all uncircumcised persons from participation in the passover rite; 2. The extension of the rite (implied in...

A FOREIGNER AND AN HIRED SERVANT SHALL NOT EAT THEREOF. One of another nation, and one that was only hired by the day, week, or year; as they were not obliged to circumcision, so without it they had no right to eat of the passover, none but such as became proselytes of righteousness....

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.

(7) And they...

THE INSTITUTION OF THE PASSOVER. THE TENTH PLAGUE, AND THE DEPARTURE OF ISRAEL 1. In the land of Egypt] These words suggest that what follows was written independently of the foregoing narrative, and an examination of this chapter shows that it contains two separate accounts of the institution of the Passover, one extending from Exodus 12:1, the other from Exodus 12:21. The latter is the proper continuation of Exodus 11....
