stranger--No foreigner could partake of the passover, unless circumcised; the "stranger" specified as admissible to the privilege must, therefore, be considered a Gentile proselyte. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Born in the land - A stranger or foreigner might be born in the land, but the word here used means "a native of the land," belonging to the country by virtue of descent, that descent being reckoned from Abraham, to whom Canaan was promised as a perpetual inheritance. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
A stranger - A proselyte. Heathens were not concerned in the passover. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
No leaven found in your houses - To meet the letter of this precept in the fullest manner possible, the Jews, on the eve of this festival, institute the most rigorous search through every part of their houses, not only removing all leavened bread, but sweeping every part clean, that no crumb of bread shall be left that had any leaven in it. And so strict were they in the observance of the letter of this law, that if even a mouse was seen to run across the floor with a crumb of bread in its mouth, they considered the whole house as polluted, and began their purification afresh. We have already seen that leaven was an emblem of sin, because it proceeded from corruption; and the putting away of this implied the turning to God with simplicity and uprightness of heart. See on Exo 12:8 (note), and Exo 12:27 (note). |
27 That ye shall say [0559], It is the sacrifice [02077] of the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453], who passed [06452] over the houses [01004] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in Egypt [04714], when he smote [05062] the Egyptians [04714], and delivered [05337] our houses [01004]. And the people [05971] bowed the head [06915] and worshipped [07812].
8 And they shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] in that night [03915], roast [06748] with fire [0784], and unleavened bread [04682]; and with bitter [04844] herbs they shall eat [0398] it.
