“’When you come to the land which Adonai will give you, as he has promised you are to observe this ceremony.’”
Exodus 12:25
After all the instructions were given, Moshe called for the leaders to select and take lambs for their families. Once the days were done, they were instructed to slaughter to lamb and with hyssop leaves, dip the leaves in the basin of blood and smear it on the door posts. No one was allowed outside after this was completed. Adonai was about to pass over the land.
This night was to be remembered. Out in the desert, when prompted, or when reaching the Promise Land, this night was to be sacred. This night, so much deeper than Easter and bunnies, marked the freedom of a nation. This night was to be remembered, retold, and kept. This night was the first night of their freedom.
Exodus 12:21-28
