SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:45
El extranjero y el asalariado no comerán de ella.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:45
Verse 45. A foreigner] bwt toshab, from by yashab, to sit down or dwell; one who is a mere sojourner, for the purpose of traffic, merchandise, &c., but who is neither a proselyte of the gate nor of the covenant. And a hired servant] Who, though he be bought with money, or has indented himself for a certain term to serve a Jew, yet has not become either a proselyte of the gate or of the covenant. None of these shall eat of it, because not circumcised - not brought under the bond of the covenant; and not being under obligation to observe the Mosaic law, had no right to its privileges and blessings. Even under the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, he is the author of eternal salvation only to them who OBEY him, Heb. v. 9; and those who become Christians are chosen to salvation through SANCTIFICATION of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, 2 Thess. ii. 13; for the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, hath appeared, teaching us that, DENYING UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY LUSTS we should live SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, and GODLY, in this present world; Tit. ii. 11, 12. Such persons only walk worthy of the vocation wherewith they are called.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 43-51 - In times to come, all the congregation of Israel must keep the passover. All that share in God's mercies should join in thankfu praises for them. The New Testament passover, the Lord's supper, ough not to be neglected by any. Strangers, if circumcised, might eat of the passover. Here is an early indication of favour to the gentiles. Thi taught the Jews that their being a nation favoured by God, entitle them to their privileges, not their descent from Abraham. Christ ou passover is sacrificed for us, 1Co 5:7; his blood is the only ranso for our souls; without the shedding of it there is no remission without the sprinkling of it there can be no salvation. Have we, by faith in him, sheltered our souls from deserved vengeance under the protection of his atoning blood? Do we keep close to him, constantl depending upon him? Do we so profess our faith in the Redeemer, and ou obligations to him, that all who pass by may know to whom we belong? D we stand prepared for his service, ready to walk in his ways, and to separate ourselves from his enemies? These are questions of vas importance to the soul; may the Lord direct our consciences honestly to answer them __________________________________________________________________
