Exodus 12:28 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:28

And the children of Israel went away
The elders of the people, ( Exodus 12:21 ) they departed to their several tribes and families at Goshen and elsewhere: and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they;
they took a lamb on the tenth day, and kept it till the fourteenth, on which day they slew it, and roasted it with fire, and ate it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Exodus 12:28 In-Context

26 When your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
27 say, 'It is the sacrifice of ADONAI's Pesach [Passover], because [ADONAI] passed over the houses of the people of Isra'el in Egypt, when he killed the Egyptians but spared our houses.'"The people of Isra'el bowed their heads and worshipped.
28 Then the people of Isra'el went and did as ADONAI had ordered Moshe and Aharon - that is what they did.
29 At midnight ADONAI killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
30 Pharaoh got up in the night, he, all his servants and all the Egyptians; and there was horrendous wailing in Egypt; for there wasn't a single house without someone dead in it.
