Exodus 12:51

_AND IT CAME TO PASS THE SELFSAME DAY, THAT THE LORD DID BRING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT BY THEIR ARMIES._ THE LORD DID BRING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT BY THEIR ARMIES, х_ `AL_ (H5921) _ TSIB'OTAAM_ (H6635)] - in consolidated organized bodies. х_ TSAABAA'_ (H6633) does not necessarily suggest the idea of war, and though it sometimes signifies an army, yet it is a regularly arranged band of men. In this passage it denotes the tribes and families of Israel ranged under their respective chiefs, and separated, it might be, at considerable distances from each other, as coming from different cities and districts of the land.] The exodus, in Bunsen's view, instead of being a marvelous work of divine power, was merely an insurrection of the Hebrews in concert with the Bedouins

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 Exodus 12:51. _BY THEIR ARMIES._] צבאתם _tsibotham_, from צבא _tsaba_, to _assemble, meet together_, in an _orderly_ or _regulated_ manner, and hence to _war_, to act together as troops in battle; whence צבאות _tsebaoth, troops, armies, hosts_. It is from this that the Divine Being calls himself יהוה צבאות _Yehovah tsebaoth_, _the_ LORD _of_ HOSTS or _armies_, because the Israelites were brought out of Egypt under his direction, marshalled and ordered by himself, guided by his wisdom, supported by his providence, and protected by his might. This is the true and simple reason why God is so frequently styled in Scripture the _Lord of hosts_; for the LORD _did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt_ _by their_ ARMIES. ON this chapter the notes have been so full and so explicit, tha

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...

EXODUS 12:40 Rp. TIME SPENT IN EGYPT. The Biblical writers are not in agreement about the length of Israel's stay in Egypt. Here it is given (probably by Rp) as 430 years (_cf._ 400 years in Genesis 15:13 Rje, Acts 7:6, and Josephus). But in Exodus 6:14 (also Rp, _cf._ Genesis 15:16 E) Moses and his contemporaries are the fourth generation. To reconcile the two estimates, the words and in the land of Canaan, _i.e._ before the entry into Egypt, are interpolated in...

THE SELF-SAME DAY— See Exodus 12:41. Thus the Lord wonderfully delivered his people, and appointed a solemn festival to perpetuate the memory of this great event: some traces of which, however corrupted and imperfect, were preserved in the most distant nations. Strabo, in particular, says, there was a report that the Jews were descended from the Egyptians; and that Moses was an Egyptian priest, who possessed a certain part of that country; but, being dissatisfied with the present state of things, he forsook it; and many worshippers of the Deity followed him, &c. See Strab. geog. lib. 16: Justin, lib. 36: cap. 2 and Tacit. lib. 5: cap. 3. _Reflections on the ordinance of the passover as typical of Christ._ The fatal night was now arrived, when the destroying angel was to smite all the first-born of Egypt, and the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.

(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. (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...
