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.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Exodus 12:47 In-Context

45 No sojourner or hired servant may eat of it.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth any of the flesh outside the house; and you shall not break a bone of it.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you."
