SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:2
Y sacrificarás la pascua al SEÑOR tu Dios, de las ovejas y de las vacas, en el lugar que el SEÑOR escogiere para hacer habitar en él su nombre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God , etc.] In the month Abib, and in the night of that month they came out of Egypt, even on the fourteenth day of it at night, between the two evenings, as the Targum of Jonathan; which was a lamb, and typical of Christ, the passover sacrificed for us, ( 1 Corinthians 5:7) of the flock and the herd ; that is, you shall sacrifice also the offerings which were offered throughout the seven days of unleavened bread, and these were both sheep and oxen, ( Numbers 28:19,24) and are expressly called passover offerings and peace offerings, ( 2 Chronicles 30:21-24 35:7,8,9), for what was strictly and properly the passover was only of the flock, a lamb, and not of the herd, or a bullock; though Aben Ezra says there were some that thought that in Egypt it was only a lamb or a kid, but now it might be a bullock; which he observes is not right. It may be indeed that the word “passover” here is a general term, comprehending the whole passover solemnity, and all the sacrifices of the seven days: the Jews commonly understand this clause of the Chagigah, or feast of the fifteenth day, the first day of unleavened bread, and so the Targum of Jonathan, “and the sheep and the oxen on the morrow;” some distinguish them thus, the flock for the duty of the passover, the herd for the peace offerings, so Aben Ezra; or as Jarchi interprets it, the flock of the lambs and kids, and the herd for the Chagigah or festival; in the Talmud f172 ; the flock, this is the passover; the herd, this is the Chagigah, so Abendana: there was a Chagigah of the fourteenth day, which was brought with the lamb and eaten first, when the company was too large for the lamb, that their might eat with satiety f173 ; but this was not reckoned obligatory upon them f174 , but they were bound to bring their Chagigah on the fifteenth day: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there ; that is, at Jerusalem, as the event has shown; hence we read of the parents of our Lord going up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover, ( Luke 2:41).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-17 - The laws for the three yearly feasts are here repeated; that of the Passover, that of the Pentecost, that of Tabernacles; and the genera law concerning the people's attendance. Never should a believer forge his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price i cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingle with sorrow for sin, and patience under the tribulations in his way to the kingdom of heaven. They must rejoice in their receivings from God and in their returns of service and sacrifice to him; our duty must be our delight, as well as our enjoyment. If those who were under the la must rejoice before God, much more we that are under the grace of the gospel; which makes it our duty to rejoice evermore, to rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in God ourselves, we should do what we can to assist others also to rejoice in him, by comforting the mourners and supplying those who are in want. All who make God their joy, ma rejoice in hope, for He is faithful that has promised.
