It is most famously associated with the Passover event in the book of Exodus, where the Lord "passed over" the houses of the Israelites that had the blood of the lamb on their doorposts, sparing them from the plague of the firstborn. The term conveys the idea of divine protection and deliverance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The concept of "pacach" is central to the Jewish festival of Passover (Pesach), which commemorates the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. This event is foundational in Jewish history and identity, symbolizing God's intervention and salvation. The Passover lamb, whose blood marked the homes of the Israelites, is a significant typology pointing to the sacrificial system and ultimately to the Messiah in Christian theology.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">מָּסַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>pass or spring over</b></font>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/12-27.htm">Exodus 12:27</a>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וּפ</font> consecutive V:23 (J); 1 singular <font class="hebrew2">וּפָסַחְתִּ֫י</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/12-13.htm">Exodus 12:13</a> (P), all with <font class="hebrew2">עַל</font>, of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>passing over</em> (sparing) houses of Israel; <em>Infinitive absolute</em> <font class="hebrew2">מָּסוֺחַ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/31-5.htm">Isaiah 31:5</a> <em>a passing over</em> (SC. <font class="hebrew2">עַליְֿרוּשָׁלַםִ</font>). <p> II.
