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 It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?'

27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Pesach, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra'el in Mitzrayim, when he struck the Mitzrim, and spared our houses.'" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.

28 The children of Yisra'el went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did.

29 It happened at midnight, that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim, from the firstborn of Par`oh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

30 Par`oh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Mitzrim; and there was a great cry in Mitzrayim, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
