The ordinance of the Passover The LORD said to Moses and Aaron This phrase establishes the divine authority behind the instructions that follow. The use of "The LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. In Hebrew, "YHWH" is the sacred name of God, often translated as "LORD" in English Bibles. This name signifies God's eternal presence and faithfulness. The mention of "Moses and Aaron" highlights their roles as leaders and mediators between God and the Israelites. Historically, Moses is seen as the lawgiver and prophet, while Aaron serves as the first high priest, underscoring the importance of both leadership and priesthood in guiding the people. This is the ordinance of the Passover No foreigner is to eat of it (43-51) This is the ordinance.--These directions, together with those which follow with respect to the sanctification of the firstborn (Exodus 13:1-16), seem to have been given to Moses at Succoth, and were consequently recorded at this point of the narrative. They comprise three principal points:--(1) The exclusion of all uncircumcised persons from the Passover (Exodus 12:43); (2) the admission of all full proselytes (Exodus 12:48-49); and (3) the injunction that no bone of the lamb should be broken (Exodus 12:46). (43) No stranger.--Comp, Exodus 12:48 for limitations. If a stranger wished to join, and would accept circumcision for himself and the males of his family, he might partake in the rite. . . . Verses 43-51. - SUPPLEMENTARY ORDINANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE PASSOVER. The position of these verses is curious. We should have expected them to have followed immediately on ver. 20, or else to have been reserved for the further consideration of the subject in ch. 23. It is suggested, in order to account for their place, that they formed the matter of a special revelation made to Moses at Succoth. They comprise three main points: -1. The absolute exclusion of all uncircumcised persons from participation in the passover rite; 2. The extension of the rite (implied in ver. 19) to all full proselytes; and, 3. The injunction that not a bone of the lamb should be broken. (This last is repeated in Numbers 9:12) Verses 43. - This is the ordinance of the passover - i.e., "This is the law, in respect of the persons who are to partake of it" - there shall no stranger eat thereof, or literally, "No son of a stranger shall eat thereof." By a "stranger" here is meant one of a foreign race who wishes to retain his foreign character and to remain uncircumcised. Compare ver. 48.
