God institutes Passover
Commentary
Exodus 12 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Exodus, as it marks the beginning of the Israelites’ journey to freedom from slavery in Egypt. In this chapter, God instructs Moses and Aaron to tell the Israelites to prepare for the Passover, a special meal that will be a sign of their deliverance from bondage. The instructions are very specific, from the selection of the lamb to the preparation of the meal. The meal is to be eaten in haste, with the Israelites ready to leave Egypt at a moment’s notice.
