Exodus 12:3 (King James Version)
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
- Speak ye
- 4:30 6:6 14:15 20:19 Leviticus 1:2
- in the tenth
- 6 ; John 12:1 John 12:12
- take to
- Genesis 4:4 ; 22:8 1 Samuel 7:9 ; John 1:29 John 1:36 ; 1 Corinthians 5:7 ; Revelation 5:6-13 ; 7:9-14 13:8
- lamb
- or, kid.
- The word {seh} means the young of both sheep and goats, and may be indifferently rendered either lamb or kid. It is evident from ver. 5 that the Hebrews might take either; but they generally preferred a lamb, from being of a more gentle nature.
- Leviticus 5:6 ; Numbers 15:11 ; 2 Chronicles 35:7
- an house
- The Israelites were divided into twelve tribes, these tribes into families, the families into houses, and the houses into particular persons.
- Numbers 1:1-54 ; Joshua 7:14
