VERSE 1
- A.M. 2513. B.C. 1491. An. Exod. Isr. 1. Abib or Nisan.
VERSE 2
* Ex 13:4; 23:15; 34:18 Le 23:5 Nu 28:16 De 16:1 Es 3:7

- 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
particular persons.

* 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.

VERSE 29
- 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
* Heb 12:23
- 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!

* Ex 11:1 Ps 105:38
- We be all.
* Ge 20:3 Nu 17:12,13
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.

- And a mixed multitude. Heb. a great mixture.
* Nu 11:4 Zec 8:23
VERSE 39

* :33; 6:1; 11:1
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.
