EX 12:43-51 Passover Law

Law

• This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it, 

• But every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. 

• A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it. 

• It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. 

• Do not break any of its bones. 

• All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 

• When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to YHWH, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; 

• But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 

• One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.

Judgement

• The man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of YHWH in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

NUMB 9:13 (TCMV)

Biblical Example

• So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on Yahweh’s altar, according to the commandment of King Josiah. 17 The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18 There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept with the priests, the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 35:16-18 (WEB)

This biblical example is referring to the Passover that occurred in King Josiah's eighteenth year as king of Israel. King Josiah became king of Israel at eight years old; after the assassination of his father King Amos, a man who did evil in the eyes of YHWH.
