May 21 / Exodus 12:1-36

Exodus 12:1-36

Dear RTB’ers, 

The Passover. Today we get 28 verses of instruction and preparation, then eight verses of action. And the instruction is given with detail: the tenth day, the fourteenth day, the twenty-first day; year-old male lamb, unblemished, roasted; unleavened bread, bitter herbs; belt, sandals, staff; blood, hyssop, lintel, doorposts. And the people bowed their heads and worshiped. Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. (vv. 27b-28)

Each morning, after reading these passages in two translations and praying and pondering what I might say, I often look back to what I posted in previous years. This morning I looked back to what John wrote last year. I can’t say it any better, so take a look at the January 20, 2023, post.

Blessings!
