- lamb.  or, kid.
  The word {seh} means the young of both sheep and goats, and
  may be indifferently rendered either lamb or kid.  It is
  evident from ver. 5 that the Hebrews might take either; but
  they generally preferred a lamb, from being of a more gentle
  nature.

   * Le 5:6 Nu 15:11 2Ch 35:7
- an house.
  The Israelites were divided into twelve tribes, these tribes
  into families, the families into houses, and the houses into

   * Lu 23:1,18 Ac 2:23; 3:14; 4:27
- in the evening.  Heb. between the two evenings.
  The Jews divided the day into morning and evening:  till the
  sun passed the meridian, all was morning or forenoon; after
  that, all was evening or afternoon.  Their first evening
  began just after twelve o'clock, and continued till sunset;
  their second evening began at sunset, and continued till
  night, i.e., during the whole time of twilight; between
  twelve o'clock, therefore, and the termination of twilight,
  the passover was to be offered.  See Parallel Passages.

  That is, the lamb which was called the {passover,} or passover
  lamb; the animal sacrificed obtaining the name of the

   * Le 14:6,7 Nu 19:18 Ps 51:7 Heb 9:1,14,19; 11:28; 12:24 1Pe 1:2
- hyssop.
  The word {aizov,} which has been variously rendered, most
  probably denotes Hyssop; whence are derived the Chaldee
  {aizova,} Syriac {zupha,} Arabic {zupha,} Ethiopic {azab,}
  and {hushopa,} Greek [          ,] Latin {hyssopus,} German
  {usop,} and our hyssop, a name retained, with little
  variation, in all the western languages.  It is a plant of
  the gymnospermia (naked seeded) order, belonging to the
  didynamia class.  It has bushy stalks, growing a foot and a
  half high; small spear-shaped, close-sitting, and opposite
  leaves, with several smaller ones rising from the same joint;
  and all the stalks and branches terminated by erect whorled
  spikes of flowers, of different colors in the varieties of
  the plant.  The leaves have an aromatic smell, and a warm,
  pungent taste.  Its detersive, cleansing, and medicinal
  qualities were probably the reason why it was so particularly
  recommended in Scripture.

 - at midnight.  See on ver.
   * :12; 11:4; 13:15 Job 34:20 1Th 5:2,3
- the Lord smote.
  The infliction of this judgment on the Egyptians was most
  equitable; because, after their nation had been preserved by
  one of the Israelitish family, they had, contrary to all
  right, and in defiance of original stipulation, enslaved the
  people to whom they had been so much indebted, had murdered
  their offspring, and made their bondage intolerable.  See
  Bryant, p. 160.

   * Nu 3:13; 8:17; 33:4 Ps 78:51; 105:36; 135:8; 136:10 Heb 11:28

- the first-born of Pharaoh.
   * Ex 4:23; 11:5
- dungeon.  Heb. house of the pit.
   * Isa 24:22; 51:14 Jer 38:6,13 Zec 9:11


VERSE 30 
 - and there was a great cry.
  No people were more remarkable and frantic in their mournings
  than the Egyptians.  When a relative died, every one left the
  house, and the women, with their hair loose, and their bosoms
  bare, ran wild about the street.  The men also, with their
  apparel equally disordered, kept them company; all shrieking,
  howling, and beating themselves.  What a scene of horror and
  distress must now have presented itself, when there was not a
  family in Egypt where there was not one dead!

VERSE 34 
 - kneading troughs.  or, dough.
   * Ex 8:3
  Probably like the kneading-troughs of the Arabs;
  comparatively small wooden bowls, which also serve them for
  dishes.  Their being bound up in their clothes may mean no
  more than their being wrapped up in their {hykes,} or long,
  loose, garments.  See Shaw's Travels, p. 224, 4to. edit.

VERSE 40
   The Samaritan Pentateuch reads, "Now the sojourning of the
  children of Israel, and of their fathers in the land of
  Canaan and in the land of Egypt, was 430 years."  The
  Alexandrine copy of the LXX. has the same reading; and the
  same statement is made by the apostle Paul, in Ga 3:17, who
  reckons from the promise made to Abraham to the giving of the
  law.  That these three witnesses have the truth, the
  chronology itself proves; for it is evident that the
  descendants of Israel did not dwell 430 years in Egypt; while
  it is equally evident, that the period from Abraham's entry
  into Canaan to the Exodus, is exactly that number.  Thus,
  from Abraham's entrance into the promised land to the birth
  of Isaac, was 25 years; Isaac was 60 at the birth of Jacob;
  Jacob was 130 at his going into Egypt; where he and his
  children continued 215 years more; making in the whole 430
  years.  See Kennicott's Dissertation on the Hebrew Text.
