This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Sacrifices of the Passover and of the Feast of Unleavened Bread
v. 16. And in the fourteenth day of the first month, the month Abib or Nisan, with which the church-year of the Jews began, is the Passover of the Lord. Exo_12:6-18; Lev_23:5.
v. 17. And in the fifteenth day of this month, and most intimately connected with the Passover, is the feast, as the seven days of unleavened bread are here simply called, Lev_23:6; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
v. 18. In the first day shall be an holy convocation, a solemn assembly in the Sanctuary, for the purpose of worship. Ye shall do no servile work therein, as on the Sabbath, Lev_23:7;
v. 19. but ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the Lord: two young bullocks and one ram and seven lambs of the first year, as on the new moon; they shall be unto you without blemish.
v. 20. And their meat-offering, which must invariably accompany the bloody sacrifice, shall be of flour mingled with oil; three-tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock and two-tenth deals tor a ram;
v. 21. a several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb throughout the seven lambs,
v. 22. and one goat for a sin-offering, to make an atonement for you.
v. 23. Ye shall offer these beside, in addition to, the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
v. 24. After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the same kind and amount of sacrifices for each individual day, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, food devoted to the Lord, of a sweet savor unto the Lord; it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink-offering.
v. 25. And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation, as on the first; ye shall do no servile work. Cf Exo_12:15-20; Lev_23:6-8.
