It emphasizes the importance of following God's instructions precisely. The Passover meal is not just a regular meal but a sacred observance with specific guidelines, symbolizing obedience and readiness for deliverance.You must be fully dressed for travel: The Israelites were to be prepared for immediate departure from Egypt. This instruction signifies readiness and anticipation of God's deliverance. In a broader sense, it reflects the Christian call to be spiritually prepared for Christ's return, as seen in the parable of the ten virgins (<a href="/matthew/25.htm">Matthew 25:1-13</a>).With your sandals on your feet: Wearing sandals indicates readiness for a journey. In ancient times, removing sandals was customary when entering a home, so keeping them on signifies that the Israelites were not to settle but to be ready to leave at a moment's notice. This can be seen as a metaphor for the Christian life, where believers are called to be pilgrims and sojourners in the world (<a href="/1_peter/2-11.htm">1 Peter 2:11</a>).And your staff in your hand: The staff is a symbol of support and guidance during travel. It represents God's provision and protection as the Israelites embark on their journey. This imagery is echoed in <a href="/psalms/23-4.htm">Psalm 23:4</a>, where the psalmist speaks of God's rod and staff providing comfort.You are to eat in haste: Eating in haste underscores the urgency of the situation. The Israelites were to be ready to leave Egypt quickly, without delay. This reflects the urgency of responding to God's call and the immediacy of salvation, as emphasized in <a href="/2_corinthians/6-2.htm">2 Corinthians 6:2</a>, "Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."It is the LORD’s Passover: The Passover is a pivotal event in Israel's history, marking their deliverance from slavery in Egypt. It is a foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice, as He is referred to as "our Passover lamb" (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-7.htm">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>). The blood of the lamb, which protected the Israelites from the angel of death, prefigures the blood of Christ, which saves believers from eternal death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> God's chosen people, who are in bondage in Egypt and are about to be delivered by God through the Passover event. 2. <a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a> The land where the Israelites are enslaved, representing a place of bondage and oppression. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord's_passover.htm">The LORD's Passover</a> A pivotal event where God passes over the houses of the Israelites, sparing them from the plague of the firstborn, marking their deliverance from Egypt. 4. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The leader chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. 5. <a href="/topical/p/pharaoh.htm">Pharaoh</a> The ruler of Egypt, whose heart is hardened against letting the Israelites go, leading to the plagues.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/r/readiness_and_obedience.htm">Readiness and Obedience</a> The Israelites were instructed to eat the Passover meal in a state of readiness, symbolizing their faith and obedience to God's command.

In Christ, we experience spiritual deliverance from sin and death. Reflect on the freedom we have in Christ and live in gratitude for His sacrifice. <a href="/topical/f/faith_in_action.htm">Faith in Action</a> The Israelites' preparation for departure required faith in God's promise of deliverance. Our faith should be active, demonstrated through our readiness to follow God's leading in our lives. <a href="/topical/s/spiritual_preparedness.htm">Spiritual Preparedness</a> Just as the Israelites were to be physically prepared to leave Egypt, we must be spiritually prepared for the challenges and opportunities God places before us. This involves being grounded in Scripture and prayer.<a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/12.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) Thus shall ye eat it.--The injunctions which follow are not repeated in any later part of the Law, and were not generally regarded as binding at any Passover after the first. They all had reference to the impending departure of the Israelites, who were to eat the Passover prepared as for a journey. The long robe (beged), usually allowed to flow loosely around the person, was to be gathered together, and fastened about the loins with a girdle; sandals, not commonly worn inside the house, were to be put on the feet, and a walking-stick was to be held in one hand. The meal was to be eaten "in haste," as liable to be interrupted at any moment by a summons to quit Egypt and set out for Canaan. Some such attitude befits Christians at all times, since they know not when the summons may come to them requiring them to quit the Egypt of this world and start for the heavenly country.It is the Lord's passover.--The word "passover" (pesakh) is here used for the first time. It is supposed by some to be of Egyptian origin, and to signify primarily "a spreading out of wings, so as to protect. But the meaning "pass over" is still regarded by many of the best Hebraists as the primary and most proper sense, and the word itself as Semitic. It occurs in the geographic name Tiphsach (Thapsacus), borne by the place where it was usual to cross, or "pass over," the Euphrates.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/12.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 11. - With your loins girded, etc. Completely prepared, i.e., to start on your journey - with the loose wrapper (beged), ordinarily worn, collected together and fastened by a girdle about the waist; with sandals on the feet, which were not commonly worn in houses; and with walking-sticks in the hand. There were some Jews who regarded these directions as of perpetual obligation; but the general view was that they applied to the first occasion only, when alone they would have answered any useful purpose. You shall eat it in haste. As not knowing at what moment you may be summoned to start on your journey, and as having to see to the burning of the bones after the flesh was eaten, which would take some time. It is the Lord's Passover. Very emphatic words! "This is no common meal," they seem to say, "it is not even an ordinary sacrificial repast. The lamb is Jehovah's. It is his pass-sign - the mark of his protection, the precious means of your preservation from death. As such view it; and though ye eat it in haste, eat it with reverence." <a href="/commentaries/exodus/12-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>This is how וְכָכָה֮ (wə·ḵā·ḵāh) Conjunctive waw | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3602.htm">Strong's 3602: </a> Just so you are to eat it: תֹּאכְל֣וּ (tō·ḵə·lū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_398.htm">Strong's 398: </a> To eat You must be fully dressed for travel, מָתְנֵיכֶ֣ם (mā·ṯə·nê·ḵem) Noun - mdc | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4975.htm">Strong's 4975: </a> The waist, small of the back, the loins with your sandals נַֽעֲלֵיכֶם֙ (na·‘ă·lê·ḵem) Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5275.htm">Strong's 5275: </a> A sandal tongue, a sandal, slipper on your feet בְּרַגְלֵיכֶ֔ם (bə·raḡ·lê·ḵem) Preposition-b | Noun - fdc | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7272.htm">Strong's 7272: </a> A foot, a step, the pudenda and your staff וּמַקֶּלְכֶ֖ם (ū·maq·qel·ḵem) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4731.htm">Strong's 4731: </a> A shoot, stick in your hand. בְּיֶדְכֶ֑ם (bə·yeḏ·ḵem) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand You are to eat וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֤ם (wa·’ă·ḵal·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_398.htm">Strong's 398: </a> To eat in haste; בְּחִפָּז֔וֹן (bə·ḥip·pā·zō·wn) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2649.htm">Strong's 2649: </a> Trepidation, hurried flight it ה֖וּא (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are is the LORD’s לַיהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel Passover. פֶּ֥סַח (pe·saḥ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6453.htm">Strong's 6453: </a> A pretermission, exemption, Passover <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/12-11.htm">Exodus 12:11 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/12-11.htm">OT Law: Exodus 12:11 This is how you shall eat it: (Exo.
