What Does Exodus 13:3 Mean So Moses told the peopleMoses, the God–appointed leader, immediately communicates the Lord’s instruction to the nation. His obedience models how God’s word is meant to flow from revelation to proclamation. - Exodus 3:10 reminds us that God personally sent Moses: “Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt”. - Deuteronomy 5:5 shows Moses standing “between the LORD and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the LORD”. The pattern is clear: when God speaks, His people are to hear and respond. Remember this day Memory anchors faith. By commanding remembrance, God safeguards Israel from spiritual amnesia. - Psalm 105:5 urges, “Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced”. - Jesus echoes the call to remember in Luke 22:19: “Do this in remembrance of Me”. Practical takeaways: • Mark your own milestones of deliverance. • Tell the story often so the next generation knows it firsthand. The day you came out of Egypt This was a literal, historic moment—God liberated an entire nation in one night (Exodus 12:42). - Jeremiah 16:14-15 foretells that this event would so define Israel that future deliverances would be measured against it. - Revelation 15:3-4 pictures the redeemed singing “the song of Moses,” linking past and future acts of salvation. Every believer likewise has a definite point of rescue—moving from darkness to light (Colossians 1:13). Out of the house of slavery Egypt was more than geography; it was bondage. God wants His people to remember what they were rescued from so they never return. - Deuteronomy 5:6 opens the Ten Commandments with the same reminder. - Jesus applies the concept spiritually: “Everyone who sins is a slave to sin… So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:34-36).

Leaven pictures hidden sin that spreads; removing it teaches vigilance against compromise. summary Exodus 13:3 calls God’s people to remember the exact day He powerfully rescued them from slavery, to recognize that the deliverance was wholly His doing, and to express that memory through a tangible act—removing leaven. The verse weaves together history, worship, and holiness, urging every generation to recount God’s mighty hand, live in grateful freedom, and pursue lives cleansed from the leaven of sin. (3) Remember this day.--Remembrance was secured in four ways:--(1) By the month being made to commence the ecclesiastical year; (2) by the institution of the Passover; (3) by the seven days of unleavened bread; and (4) by the redemption, and the inquiries it would necessitate (Exodus 13:14-15).Verse 3. - And Moses said.

The injunction came with great force at the close of the first day's journey, when the good-will of the Egyptians had been shown, and the people had been helped and speeded on their way, and felt that they were actually quitting the house of their bondage, and setting out for Canaan. By strength of hand the Lord brought you out - i.e.., "by His powerful protection has God brought you on your way thus far." Therefore, "Remember this day, and remember that nothing leavened is to be eaten on it" (see Exodus 12:15-20). Ver 4. - In the month Abib. The name of the month had not been previously mentioned. Some have derived it from the Egyptian Epiphi. As, however, ab means "greenness" in Hebrew, and abib "green ears of corn," while ibba meant "fruit" in Chaldee (Daniel 4:12, 14), and abbon means "green herbs" in Arabic, there is no need of a foreign derivation for the word. The month of "greenness," or of "green ears of corn," would be both appropriate and intelligible.Parallel Commentaries ...
