“And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.” (Exodus 11:1)
Things have changed for the Pharaoh. His Servants and Egyptian people were looking more toward Moses than they did toward Pharaoh.
God proclaims that about midnight God will go out into Egypt and he will kill the first born of everything, even the beasts.
“And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.” (Exodus 11:6-7)
Exodus 12 starts with a recipe on how to make a Passover meal.
- Unblemished lamb or goat of the first year.
- Reserve the blood of the lamb and paint it on the side and upper posts.
- Roast with fire to include the head and legs, don’t boil it.
- Eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Exodus 12 then tells the children of Israel how to be ready.
“And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover.”(Exodus 12:10-11)
“And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.” (Exodus 12:14)
