Exodus 12:14-20 - Exposition

Hitherto the directions given have had reference, primarily and mainly, if not wholly, to the first celebration of the Passover on the night preceding the Exodus. Now, it is announced,

(a) the eating of unleavened bread for seven days after the killing of the Passover;

(b) the putting away of leaven out of the houses;

(c) the holding of meetings for worship on the first day and the last; and

(d) the observance on these days of a sabbatical rest.
