Verse 1 the month Exodus 12:2-20, 34:18; Leviticus 23:5; Numbers 9:2-5, 28:16 the passoverThis word comes from the Hebrew verb pasach, to pass, to leap or skip over. The destroying angel passed over the houses marked with the blood of the Paschal Lamb, so the wrath of God passes over those whose souls sprinkled with the blood of Christ. 1 Corinthians 5:7. As the paschal lamb was killed before Israel was delivered, so by the death of Christ, we have redemption through his blood. It was killed before the tables of the law were delivered to Moses, or Aaron's sacrifices were enjoined; thus deliverance comes to men, not by the works of the law, but by the only true passover, the Lamb of God. Romans 3:25. Habakkuk 3:1. It was killed the first month of the year, which prefigured that Christ should suffer death in that month. John 18:28. it was killed in the evening. Exodus 12:6. Christ suffered at that time of the day. Matthew 27:46. Habakkuk 1:2. At even the sun sets; at Christ's passion, universal darkness was upon the whole earth. The passover was roasted with fire, denoting the sharp and dreadful pains that Christ should suffer, not only from men, but God also. It was to be eaten with bitter herbs, Exodus 12:8
not only to put them in remembrance of their bitter bondage in Egypt, but also to testify our mortification to sin, and readiness to undergo afflictions for Christ, Colossians 1:24
and likewise to teach us the absolute necessity of true repentance in all that would profitably feed by faith on Christ, the true paschal lamb.for in Exodus 12:29-42, 13:4, 23:15, 34:18 Reciprocal 12:14 - by an ordinance; 12:42 - a night to be much observed; Numbers 15:3 - in your; Joshua 3:15 - all the time; Judges 21:19 - a feast; 2 Kings 23:21 - as it is written; 2 Chronicles 31:3 - for the new moons; 35:1 - the fourteenth; Psalm 114:1 - Israel; Isaiah 1:13 - the new; Ezekiel 45:21 - ye shall; 46:11 - in the feasts; Matthew 26:17 - the first; Mark 14:1 - the passover; 14:12 - the first; Luke 2:41 - went; John 2:13 - passover; 6:4 - General; Acts 18:21 - I must; Colossians 2:16 - of an Verse 2 sacrifice Exodus 12:5-7; Numbers 28:16-19; 2 Chronicles 35:7; Matthew 26:2, 26:17; Mark 14:12; Luke 22:8, 22:15; 1 Corinthians 5:7 in the place which Deuteronomy 12:5, 12:11, 12:14, 12:18, 12:26, 15:20 Reciprocal Exodus 12:11 - it is the; 12:27 - It is the sacrifice; Numbers 9:2 - his appointed; 9:7 - we may not offer; Deuteronomy 16:5 - sacrifice; 16:7 - in the place; 18:6 - unto the place; Joshua 9:27 - in the place; 1 Kings 8:29 - My name; 12:27 - go up; 2 Chronicles 30:1 - to the house; Ezra 6:12 - caused; John 18:28 - eat Verse 3 eat no Exodus 12:15, 12:19, 12:20, 12:39, 13:3-7, 34:18; Leviticus 23:6; Numbers 9:11, 28:17; 1 Corinthians 5:8 the bread 1 Kings 22:27; Psalm 102:9, 127:2; Zechariah 12:10; 2 Corinthians 7:10, 7:11; 1 Thessalonians 1:6 for thou camest Exodus 12:32, 12:33, 12:39 mayest 12:14, 12:26, 12:27, 13:7-9; Psalm 111:4; Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 Reciprocal Exodus 12:8 - unleavened; 13:10 - General; 34:25 - leaven; Leviticus 11:3 - cheweth; 2 Chronicles 35:17 - the feast; Isaiah 30:20 - the bread; Micah 6:5 - remember Verse 4 there shall Exodus 12:15, 13:7, 34:25 neither 12:10 Reciprocal 13:10 - General; 23:18 - blood; 2 Chronicles 35:17 - the feast Verse 5 sacrificeor, kill, Deuteronomy 16:2, 12:5, 12:6 Reciprocal Exodus 12:10 - General; 12:15 - Seven; 12:25 - when; 12:27 - It is the sacrifice; 20:24 - in all places Verse 6 at even Exodus 12:6-9; Numbers 9:3, 9:11; Matthew 26:20; Habakkuk 1:2, 1:3, 3:1; 1 Peter 1:19, 1:20 Reciprocal Exodus 20:24 - in all places; Deuteronomy 12:21 - to put; 16:7 - in the place; Joshua 9:27 - in the place; 1 Kings 8:29 - My name; 12:27 - go up; Isaiah 30:29 - in the night; Luke 22:14 - General Verse 7 roast Exodus 12:8, 12:9; 2 Chronicles 35:13; Psalm 22:14, 22:15 in the place Deuteronomy 16:2, 16:6; 2 Kings 23:23; John 2:13, 2:23, 11:55 Reciprocal Luke 22:14 - General Verse 8 Six days Exodus 12:15, 12:16, 13:7, 13:8; Leviticus 23:6-8; Numbers 28:17-19 solemn assemblyHeb. restraint, Leviticus 23:36; 2 Chronicles 7:9; Nehemiah 8:18; Joel 1:14 *marg.Reciprocal 2 Chronicles 35:17 - the feast Verse 9 Deuteronomy 16:10, 16:16; Exodus 23:16, 34:22; Leviticus 23:15, 23:16; Numbers 28:26-30; 2 Chronicles 8:13; Acts 2:1; 1 Corinthians 16:8; Habakkuk 2:1 Reciprocal Leviticus 23:10 - and shall; Numbers 22:17 - I will promote; Joel 3:13 - the sickle; Luke 6:1 - the second Verse 10 a tributeor, sufficiency, Deuteronomy 16:16; Leviticus 5:7, 12:8, 25:26 *marg.

The same practice obtained among other Eastern nations. The Ottoman court, it is well known, derived its appellation of the Porte, from the distribution of justice and the dispatch of public business at its gates. And the square tower which forms the principal entrance to the Alhamra, or red palace of the Moorish kings of Grenada, retains to this day the appellation of the Gate of judgment, from its having been the place where justice was at one period summarily administered.Reciprocal Exodus 5:6 - officers; 18:21 - able men; 21:22 - as the judges; 22:8 - the judges; 22:9 - the cause of both parties; Numbers 11:16 - officers; Deuteronomy 1:16 - Hear; 20:5 - the officers; 21:19 - and bring; 25:1 - General; Ruth 4:1 - to the gate; 1 Samuel 8:1 - made his; 2 Samuel 23:3 - must be just; 1 Kings 21:8 - the elders; 2 Kings 10:1 - the rulers; 2 Chronicles 19:7 - taking of gifts; Ezra 7:25 - set magistrates; Job 29:7 - General; Psalm 58:1 - Do; 69:12 - They; Proverbs 31:9 - General; 31:23 - in the; Jeremiah 22:3 - Execute; Lamentations 5:14 - elders; Ezekiel 18:8 - hath executed; Amos 5:12 - in the; Micah 3:1 - Is it; Zechariah 7:9 - saying; Matthew 21:33 - husbandmen; Luke 20:9 - husbandmen; John 7:24 - General; 8:11 - Neither Verse 19 wrest Deuteronomy 24:17, 27:19; Exodus 23:2, 23:6-8; Leviticus 19:15; 1 Samuel 8:3, 12:3; Job 31:21, 31:22; Proverbs 17:23; Ecclesiastes 7:7; Isaiah 1:17, 1:23, 33:15; Jeremiah 5:28; Ezekiel 22:12; Micah 7:3; Habakkuk 1:4; Zephaniah 3:3-5; Acts 16:37, 23:3 respect Deuteronomy 1:16, 1:17, 10:17; Exodus 23:7, 23:8; Proverbs 24:23, 24:28; Acts 10:34 wordsor, mattersReciprocal Exodus 18:21 - hating; 21:26 - General; 22:9 - the cause of both parties; Leviticus 25:14 - General; Deuteronomy 21:2 - General; 27:25 - General; 1 Samuel 8:1 - made his; 1 Kings 21:8 - the elders; 2 Chronicles 19:7 - taking of gifts; Job 32:21 - accept; Psalm 15:5 - nor taketh; 26:10 - bribes; 58:1 - Do; Proverbs 15:27 - but; 17:8 - gift; 18:5 - not; Isaiah 5:23 - for reward; Hosea 4:18 - her; Mark 12:14 - for thou; John 7:24 - General; Acts 24:26 - hoped; Romans 2:11 - General; 1 Timothy 6:10 - the love; James 2:1 - with; 2 Peter 3:16 - wrest Verse 20 That whichetc. Heb.
