Exodus 12:50 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:50

Thus did all the children of Israel
They slew a lamb, and roasted and ate it, with unleavened bread, and bitter herbs, and took a bunch of hyssop, and dipped it in the blood, and struck the lintel and the side posts of the doors of their houses: this they did on the night of their deliverance out of Egypt: as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they;
being instructed by them; which is an instance of their ready and cheerful obedience to the divine will, which they were under great obligation to perform, from a grateful sense of the wonderful mercy and favour they now were made partakers of.

Exodus 12:50 In-Context

48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you."
50 Thus did all the people of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 And on that very day the LORD brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
