Intro-
God told Moses that He was sending one final plague. This long drawn out experience with pharaoh was finally at it’s end.
V.2- God told Moses to have the people ask the Egyptians for gold, silver. - Later we read that the Israelites had plundered the Egyptians.
V.7- states that not a dog shall growl against the people of Israel. This was an indication of the amount of peace that they would feel in contrast with the incredible pain, and loud cries that would soon spread throughout Egypt.
V.10- Pharaoh hardened his heart and did not heed this final warning.
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.
This was a major turning point in the history of the nation of Israel. God literally reset their calendar.
3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.
4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,
6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
They needed to take a lamb on the 10th day of the month
They needed to keep the lamb for 4 days before sacrificing it
It needed to be without blemish
8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.
They needed to cook all the blood out of the meat. ()
They needed to eat unleavened bread and bitter herbs to remind them of their bitter struggles that God delivered them from.
11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
In Verse 11 the Israelites were given specific instructions as to how to eat this meal. With their belts fastened, sandals on their feet, staff in their hand.
This was to represent two things. First, it represented their readiness to flee Egypt. Second, it represented their faith that God would do what He said.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
God stated that He would strike down the firstborn in all of Egypt, man and beast.
God said he would execute Judgement on all of the gods of Egypt.
This is not an indication that God acknowledged that there were other deities. Rather, It was God’s way of once and for all proving that He was the one true God.
15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
It wasn’ enough for them to simply not eat leavened bread during the passover, but they needed to remove it from their home.
23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
When the Lord passed through Egypt any house that had obeyed the commands, would be spared of the heartache.
26 And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’ ” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
The Israelites were to observe the Passover in part, to teach their children about God.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.
This devastation was unlike anything before. Not a single household escaped death.
The Israelites finally got to leave Egypt
They had no time to prepare or bring provisions for their family.
Passover Lamb- A Shadow of Jesus
7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Both were innocent
The innocent suffered for the guilty
Both were submissive
Not a bone was broken
It was in eating the lamb that the Israelites were rescued from Death. Jesus said in that He was the bread of life
The lamb was kept 4 days and then killed. Jesus was in Jerusalem 4 days before His crucifixion.
Both were males without blemish
The Blood:
All throughout scripture there is a trail of blood. We see it with the passover, we see it in sacrifices, we see it in Jesus.
23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
When God saw the blood, He would passover them.
When our day of judgement comes, If God looks at us and sees the blood of our lamb, He will passover.
