(Ex 12:8, 11)
Firstborn of Egypt killed that night
(Ex 12:29)
Israelites depart in the morning
(Ex 12:30-41,
Num
33:3-5)How long until they crossed the sea? (note Ex 13:20-14:3)
10+ days?Slide6
Passover
Lamb
Unblemished male, one year old (sheep or goat)Israel kills in unison, carrying out the will of God as one, household by householdEntire lamb roasted with fire, eaten completely, or remnants destroyed by fire (note Ex 12:39…‘no provision’…why?)Meal eaten in a state of readiness (Ex 12:11)
There is a totality to this event, a comprehensiveness
Death of all firstborn among Egyptians
All Israelite families participate in Passover meal
All the sacrificed lamb is consumed, either in eating or by fire
Life-sustaining
blood is shed
in
sacrifice to save lifeOnly those who obeyed the will of God were saved…but all of those who obeyed were savedSlide7
Feast of Unleavened Bread
A seven-day feast
(Ex 12:14-20, 13:6-8)Begins with removal of yeast; nothing leavened eaten all weekBegin and end the feast week with a ‘holy assembly’God demands strict complianceViolators ‘cut off’ (Ex 12:15,19…also Gen 17:14,

Ritualistic observance without meaning or sincerity
The Lord’s
Supper
– “Remember me”
