Exodus 12:48

_AND WHEN A STRANGER SHALL SOJOURN WITH THEE, AND WILL KEEP THE PASSOVER TO THE LORD, LET ALL HIS MALES BE CIRCUMCISED, AND THEN LET HIM COME NEAR AND KEEP IT; AND HE SHALL BE AS ONE THAT IS BORN IN THE LAND: FOR NO UNCIRCUMCISED PERSON SHALL EAT THEREOF._ And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover ... [The primary signification of _ PECACH_ (H6453) is a passing over, an immunity from punishment (see the note at Exodus 12:27). Hence, the word was applied to denote the paschal lamb (Exodus 12:21) immolated in the typical sacrifice of passing over; and then, by an easy transition, it was employed to designate the paschal supper, at which the lamb was eaten with a variety of special accompaniments and rites.]...

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 48. _AND WHEN A STRANGER - WILL KEEP THE PASSOVER, C._] Let all who sojourn among you, and who desire to partake of this sacred ordinance, not only be circumcised themselves, but all the males of their families likewise, that they may all have an equal right to the blessings of the covenant....

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...

AND WHEN A STRANGER SHALL SOJOURN WITH THEE, e.] Who by so doing became a proselyte of the gate, he observing the commands of the sons of Noah: AND WILL KEEP THE PASSOVER OF THE LORD is desirous of being admitted to that ordinance: LET ALL HIS MALES BE CIRCUMCISED, AND THEN LET HIM COME NEAR, AND KEEP IT: first himself, and then all his male children and male servants, and then, and not till then, he might approach to this ordinance, and observe it; for by this means he would become a proselyte of righteousness, and in all respects as an Israelite, or son of Abraham, as it follows: AND HE SHALL BE AS ONE THAT IS BORN IN THE LAND; a native and proper inhabitant of Canaan, enjoying all the privileges and immunities of such: FOR NO UNCIRCUMCISED PERSON SHALL EAT THEREOF; these laws and rules concerning those persons that were to eat of the passover are such as were to be observed in all...

WITH THEE. Some codices, with Samaritan Pentateuch, The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, Targum of Onkelos, Septuagint, and Syriac, read "with you". NO UNCIRCUMCISED PERSON SHALL EAT. Were they circumcised during the three days' darkness, and was the command then given, the word against which they did not rebel? (Psalms 105:28)....

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.

(5) Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: (6) and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Is-ra-el shall kill it at even. (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....
