Exode 13:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 13:4

This day came ye out
Out of Egypt, on the fifteenth of Nisan, as the Targum of Jonathan: in the month Abib;
which signifies an ear of corn, because in this month barley was in the ear, see ( Exodus 9:31 ) , the Syriac version renders it, "in the month of flowers"; when the flowers were rising up out of the earth, being spring time, and a very fit time to travel in; and this is observed, not only because they might not know what month it was, in such a state of ignorance, as well as servitude, were they kept in Egypt; but as Jarchi also intimates, to point out to them the mercy and goodness of God to them, in bringing them out at such a seasonable time to travel in, when there were neither heat, nor cold, nor rain. This month answers to part of our March, and part of April.

Exode 13:4 In-Context

2 Consacre-moi tout premier-né, tout premier-né parmi les enfants d'Israël, tant des hommes que des animaux: il m'appartient.
3 Moïse dit au peuple: Souvenez-vous de ce jour, où vous êtes sortis d'Egypte, de la maison de servitude; car c'est par sa main puissante que l'Eternel vous en a fait sortir. On ne mangera point de pain levé.
4 Vous sortez aujourd'hui, dans le mois des épis.
5 Quand l'Eternel t'aura fait entrer dans le pays des Cananéens, des Héthiens, des Amoréens, des Héviens et des Jébusiens, qu'il a juré à tes pères de te donner, pays où coulent le lait et le miel, tu rendras ce culte à l'Eternel dans ce même mois.
6 Pendant sept jours, tu mangeras des pains sans levain; et le septième jour, il y aura une fête en l'honneur de l'Eternel.
