Exodus 12:47 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:47

All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
] The passover, and the feast of unleavened bread only; for a Gentile was first to be circumcised, and be joined to the congregation, and then partake of it, and not before.

Exodus 12:47 In-Context

45 No temporary resident or hired worker may eat it.
46 The whole meal must be eaten in the house in which it was prepared; it must not be taken outside. And do not break any of the animal's bones.
47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate this festival,
48 but no uncircumcised man may eat it. If a foreigner has settled among you and wants to celebrate Passover to honor the Lord, you must first circumcise all the males of his household. He is then to be treated like a native-born Israelite and may join in the festival.
49 The same regulations apply to native-born Israelites and to foreigners who settle among you."
