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 But a hired worker or someone who lives with you for a while is not allowed to eat it.
46 "It must be eaten inside a house. Do not take any of the meat outside. Do not break any of the bones.
47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate the Passover.
48 "Suppose an outsider who is living among you wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover. Then all of the males in that home must be circumcised. After that, the person can take part, just like an Israelite. Only males who are circumcised can eat it.
49 "The same law applies to Israelites and to outsiders who are living among you."
