The Book Of Exodus Chapter 12 (9 of 26)

Read vss 1-2
The scene now shifts to Moses and the instructions
given to the children of Israel. During the plagues,
it would seem that the narrative was Moses contending
with the Pharaoh, now it switches over to Moses and
the children of Israel. The feast, which was about to
be given to Israel by God, was preceded by a new age

Abib, meaning the fresh ears. It was named because of

morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded,
your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand;
and ye shall eat it in haste: it [is] the LORD'S
passover.
Any meat that was left over was to be burned in the
morning. The children of Israel had to eat in haste
and be ready to leave in a hurry also, because this
would be the last meal eaten in Egyptian bondage
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this
night, and will smite all the firstborn i ...
