Exodus 12:47 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:47 In-Context

45 But neither a person who lives for a short time in your country nor a hired worker may eat it.

46 "The meal must be eaten inside a house; take none of the meat outside the house. Don't break any of the bones.

47 The whole community of Israel must take part in this feast.

48 A foreigner who lives with you may share in the Lord's Passover if all the males in his house become circumcised. Then, since he will be like a citizen of Israel, he may share in the meal. But a man who is not circumcised may not eat the Passover meal.

49 The same rules apply to an Israelite born in the country or to a foreigner living there."
