Genesis 12 - The Passover Rituals Explained

The rituals of the first passover feast were explained to God's children.

When the Pharaoh's household woke in the middle of the night they found their firstborn dead and so did every other Egyptian families. There was a loud wailing throughout all of Egypt and the Pharaoh, though already warned of this, summoned Moses and Aaron, this time pleading with them to please go and take everything with them, their children, their flocks... Just go!

The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked their neighbors for jewelery and clothes. The Lord had made them behave favorably to the Israelites and many valuable items were offered and taken. About 600,000 men (not counting children) began the journey. This had been the families of Abraham which accumulated since. They stay it Israel since Joseph, had been 430 years.

Then the Lord explained to His children the regulations they needed to keep the passover.

Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word.
