出埃及记 12:2 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 12:1-20

Moses and Aaron here receive of the Lord what they were afterwards to deliver to the people concerning the ordinance of the passover, to which is prefixed an order for a new style to be observed in their months (Exod. 12:1, 2): This shall be to you the beginning of months. They had hitherto begun their year from the middle of September, but henceforward they were to begin it from the middle of March, at least in all their ecclesiastical computations. Note, It is good to begin the day, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:2

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months ,.... Not only the first, as after expressed, but the chief and principal of them, now famous for their coming out of Egypt in it, and would be more so for the sufferings and death of the Messiah, and redemption by him from sin, Satan, and the world, law, hell, and death, for he suffered at the time of the passover. This month was called Abib, Exodus 13:4 , which signifies an ear of corn, and at this time we find that the barley was in... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:2

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months - It is supposed that God now changed the commencement of the Jewish year. The month to which this verse refers, the month Abib, answers to a part of our March and April; whereas it is supposed that previously to this the year began with Tisri, which answers to a part of our September; for in this month the Jews suppose God created the world, when the earth appeared at once with all its fruits in perfection. From this circumstance the Jews... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-2

The advantages of an ecclesiastical calendar. With their new position as an independent nation, and their new privileges as God's redeemed people ( Exodus 6:6 ), the Israelites received the gift of a new ecclesiastical calendar. Their civil calendar remaining as before, their civil year commencing with Tisri, about the time of the autumnal equinox, and consisting of twelve months of alternately twenty-nine and thirty days, they were now commanded to adopt a new departure for their sacred... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-20

1 . The festival was to last seven days. 2 . No leavened bread was to be eaten during that space, and leaven was even to be put away altogether out of all houses. 3 . On the first day of the seven and on the last, there was to be "a holy convocation" or gathering for worship. 4 . No work not strictly necessary was to Be done on these days. Other directions were given at a later date. 1 . Besides the Paschal lamb, with which the festival commenced, and which was to be a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-20

1. It Was then only that the history of the nation as the people of God began. Before they had been told of God's favour towards them; they now knew it. "Now we believe, not because of thy saying, for we have heard him ourselves" ( John 4:42 ). 2 . God's final deliverance begins a new era for his people. "Behold! make all things new." 3 . This has its correlative type in Christian experience now. The true life of the servant of God dates from the hour of his deliverance from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-28

The institution of the Passover. Moses has now done with requesting and threatening Pharaoh. He leaves Pharaoh to the terrible smiting hand of Jehovah, and turns, when it is quite time to turn, to his own people. He who would not listen had to be left for those who would listen. It is now manifest that Moses is to be profitably occupied with matters which cannot any longer be delayed. It was needful to give warning concerning the death of the first-born to the Israelites quite as much as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-28

The Passover. "It is the Lord's Passover" ( Exodus 12:11 ). After Pharaoh's refusal to see Moses again, Jehovah comes more manifestly into the history, in the last judgment and deliverance of his people. Three great events crowd now into a single night, the Passover, the slaying of the first-born, the march out. Consider now the Passover. I. ITS NECESSITY . 1 . Israel must be separated from Egypt. This idea of separation runs through all Hebrew history from the time of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:1-29

The Passover. God's last and overwhelming blow was about to be struck at Egypt. In anticipation of that blow, and in immediate connection with the exodus, God gave directions for the observance of a Passover. I. THE PASSOVER IN ITS CONNECTION WITH THE HISTORY . For details of the ritual, see the verses of the chapter. 1 . The design of the Passover was to make plain to Israel the ground on which its salvation was bestowed—the ground, viz; of Atonement. "The more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 12:2

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months . The Israelite year would seem to have hitherto commenced with the autumnal equinox ( Exodus 23:16 ), or at any rate with the month Tisri (or Ethanim), which corresponded to our October. Henceforth two reckonings were employed, one for sacred, the other for civil purposes, the first month of each year, sacred or civil, being the seventh month of the other. Abib, "the month of ears"—our April, nearly—became now the first month of the... read more
