Exodus 12:47 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:47 In-Context

45 Neither a traveler nor a hired servant may eat it.

46 It is to be eaten in one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones.

47 The whole community of Isra'el is to keep it.

48 If a foreigner staying with you wants to observe ADONAI's Pesach, all his males must be circumcised. Then he may take part and observe it; he will be like a citizen of the land. But no uncircumcised person is to eat it.

49 The same teaching is to apply equally to the citizen and to the foreigner living among you."
