Êxodo 23:18

18 Não oferecerás o sangue do meu sacrifício com pão levedado, nem ficará da noite para a manhã a gordura da minha festa.

Êxodo 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.

Êxodo 23:18 In-Context

16 também guardarás a festa da sega, a das primícias do teu trabalho, que houveres semeado no campo; igualmente guardarás a festa da colheita � saída do ano, quando tiveres colhido do campo os frutos do teu trabalho.

17 Três vezes no ano todos os teus homens aparecerão diante do Senhor Deus.

18 Não oferecerás o sangue do meu sacrifício com pão levedado, nem ficará da noite para a manhã a gordura da minha festa.

19 As primícias dos primeiros frutos da tua terra trarás � casa do Senhor teu Deus. Não cozerás o cabrito no leite de sua mãe

20 Eis que eu envio um anjo adiante de ti, para guardar-te pelo caminho, e conduzir-te ao lugar que te tenho preparado.
