This command emphasizes the urgency and completeness of the redemption event. In the context of the Exodus, the Israelites were to be ready to leave Egypt in haste, symbolizing their immediate departure from bondage. This practice is also a reminder of God's provision and the need to trust in His timing. The command to consume the lamb fully signifies the totality of God's deliverance and the completeness of the sacrifice.<p><b>or break any of its bones</b><br>This phrase is significant in its prophetic connection to Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the Lamb of God. In <a href="/john/19-36.htm">John 19:36</a>, it is noted that during the crucifixion, none of Jesus' bones were broken, fulfilling this aspect of the Passover lamb's requirements. This detail underscores the perfection and completeness of Christ's sacrifice, aligning with the typology of the Passover lamb as a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice for sin. The unbroken bones symbolize the integrity and wholeness of the offering.<p><b>They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes</b><br>This command highlights the importance of obedience to God's instructions and the preservation of the Passover as a perpetual ordinance. The statutes of the Passover include specific rituals and practices that were to be followed meticulously, reflecting the covenant relationship between God and His people. Observing the Passover according to its statutes served as a continual reminder of God's deliverance and faithfulness. It also reinforced the identity of the Israelites as a people set apart for God's purposes. The Passover, as a foundational event in Israel's history, points forward to the New Covenant established through Christ, who fulfills and transcends the Old Testament sacrificial system.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are being instructed on how to observe the Passover.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/p/passover.htm">Passover</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who conveyed God's laws and instructions to the people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>The land from which the Israelites were delivered, symbolizing bondage and oppression.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_passover_lamb.htm">The Passover Lamb</a></b><br>A sacrificial lamb whose blood was used to mark the Israelites' homes, sparing them from the final plague.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The Israelites were instructed to follow God's statutes precisely.
