Deuteronômio 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:2

Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy
God
In the month Abib, and in the night of that month they came out of Egypt, even on the fourteenth day of it at night, between the two evenings, as the Targum of Jonathan; which was a lamb, and typical of Christ, the passover sacrificed for us, ( 1 Corinthians 5:7 )

of the flock and the herd;
that is, you shall sacrifice also the offerings which were offered throughout the seven days of unleavened bread, and these were both sheep and oxen, ( Numbers 28:19 Numbers 28:24 ) and are expressly called passover offerings and peace offerings, ( 2 Chronicles 30:21-24 ) ( 2 Chronicles 35:7 2 Chronicles 35:8 2 Chronicles 35:9 ) , for what was strictly and properly the passover was only of the flock, a lamb, and not of the herd, or a bullock; though Aben Ezra says there were some that thought that in Egypt it was only a lamb or a kid, but now it might be a bullock; which he observes is not right. It may be indeed that the word "passover" here is a general term, comprehending the whole passover solemnity, and all the sacrifices of the seven days: the Jews commonly understand this clause of the Chagigah, or feast of the fifteenth day, the first day of unleavened bread, and so the Targum of Jonathan,

``and the sheep and the oxen on the morrow;''

some distinguish them thus, the flock for the duty of the passover, the herd for the peace offerings, so Aben Ezra; or as Jarchi interprets it, the flock of the lambs and kids, and the herd for the Chagigah or festival; in the Talmud ^F13; the flock, this is the passover; the herd, this is the Chagigah, so Abendana: there was a Chagigah of the fourteenth day, which was brought with the lamb and eaten first, when the company was too large for the lamb, that their might eat with satiety ^F14; but this was not reckoned obligatory upon them ^F15, but they were bound to bring their Chagigah on the fifteenth day:

in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name
there;
that is, at Jerusalem, as the event has shown; hence we read of the parents of our Lord going up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover, ( Luke 2:41 ) .

Deuteronômio 16:2 In-Context

1 “Observem o mês de abibe e celebrem a Páscoa do SENHOR, o seu Deus, pois no mês de abibe, de noite, ele os tirou do Egito.

2 Ofereçam como sacrifício da Páscoa ao SENHOR, o seu Deus, um animal dos rebanhos de bois ou de ovelhas, no local que o SENHOR escolher para habitação do seu Nome.

3 Não o comam com pão fermentado, mas durante sete dias comam pães sem fermento, o pão da aflição, pois foi às pressas que vocês saíram do Egito, para que todos os dias da sua vida vocês se lembrem da época em que saíram do Egito.

4 Durante sete dias não permitam que seja encontrado fermento com vocês em toda a sua terra. Tampouco permitam que alguma carne sacrificada à tarde do primeiro dia permaneça até a manhã seguinte.

5 “Não ofereçam o sacrifício da Páscoa em nenhuma das cidades que o SENHOR, o seu Deus, der a vocês;
