Éxodo 23:18

18 No ofrecerás la sangre de mi sacrificio con pan leudado; ni la grosura de mi fiesta quedará hasta la mañana.

Éxodo 23:18 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 23:18

Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened
bread
This belongs to the feast of the passover; for, as all the Jewish writers agree, this sacrifice is the sacrifice of the passover, as it is sometimes called, see ( Exodus 12:27 ) now when the paschal lamb was killed, and its blood shed, and its flesh eaten, there was to be no leaven along with it; it was to be eaten with unleavened bread, and there was to be no leaven in their houses at this time; nay, it was not to be slain until all was removed: this was the first thing the Jews did, as soon as the fourteenth day was come, to search for leaven, remove and burn it; and this sense of the law is confirmed by the Targum of Jonathan, which is,

``not a man shall slay, while there is leaven in your houses, the sacrifice of my passover;''

and to the same purpose is the note of Jarchi:

neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning;
and indeed no part of the passover lamb was to remain until the morning, what did was to be burnt with fire, ( Exodus 12:10 ) the Targum of Jonathan is,

``neither shall there remain without the altar the fat of the sacrifice of my passover until the morning, nor of the flesh which ye ate in the evening;''

and so Jarchi interprets it of its not remaining without the altar.

Éxodo 23:18 In-Context

16 También guardarás la fiesta de la siega de los primeros frutos de tus labores, de lo que siembres en el campo; y la fiesta de la cosecha al fin del año cuando recojas del campo el fruto de tu trabajo.

17 Tres veces al año se presentarán todos tus varones delante del Señor DIOS.

18 No ofrecerás la sangre de mi sacrificio con pan leudado; ni la grosura de mi fiesta quedará hasta la mañana.

19 Traerás lo mejor de las primicias de tu tierra a la casa del SEÑOR tu Dios. No cocerás el cabrito en la leche de su madre

20 He aquí, yo enviaré un ángel delante de ti, para que te guarde en el camino y te traiga al lugar que yo he preparado.
