The Israelites were to gather as families or small groups within a single dwelling, symbolizing the unity of God's people. This practice also ensured the sanctity and sacredness of the meal, as it was a solemn observance of God's deliverance from Egypt. The house served as a place of protection, much like the blood on the doorposts protected the Israelites from the plague. This can be seen as a type of the church, where believers gather in unity under the protection of Christ's sacrifice.<p><b>You are not to take any of the meat outside the house,</b><br>This restriction underscores the sacredness of the Passover lamb, which was not to be profaned by being taken outside the designated place of consumption. It highlights the importance of keeping the holy separate from the common. The meat, representing the sacrifice, was to remain within the confines of the house, much like the spiritual nourishment and protection provided by Christ remains within the community of believers. This also prefigures the exclusivity of salvation through Christ, as the benefits of His sacrifice are for those who are within the covenant community.<p><b>and you may not break any of the bones.</b><br>This command is significant both in its immediate context and its prophetic implications. In the context of the Passover, it ensured that the lamb remained whole, symbolizing completeness and perfection. Prophetically, this points to Jesus Christ, the ultimate Passover Lamb, whose bones were not broken during His crucifixion, fulfilling the prophecy in <a href="/psalms/34-20.htm">Psalm 34:20</a> and referenced in <a href="/john/19-36.htm">John 19:36</a>.

Compare the directions in vers. 3-10, which imply this, and see the comment on ver. 10. Neither shall ye break a bone of it. Kalisch thinks that the lamb was a symbol of the unity of the nation, and was therefore not to have any of its bones broken. This view may be a true one, without being exhaustive. It may have been to mark the unity of the Church in Christ that his bones were not broken, and in view especially of <span class="accented">that</span> unity, that the type was made to correspond in this particular with the antitype.
