It is evident from Exo 12:5 that the Hebrews might take either; but they generally preferred a lamb, from being of a more gentle nature. Lev 5:6; Num 15:11; Ch2 35:7\nan house: The Israelites were divided into twelve tribes, these tribes into families, the families into houses, and the houses into particular persons.

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).

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 colours 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.\nstrike: Exo 12:7\nand none: Mat 26:30\nwill pass through: Exo 12:12, Exo 12:13\nand will not: Sa2 24:16; Isa 37:36; Eze 9:4, Eze 9:6; Co1 10:10; Heb 11:28, Heb 12:24; Rev 7:3, Rev 9:4\nwhen: Deu 4:5, Deu 12:8, Deu 12:9, Deu 16:5-9; Jos 5:10-12; Psa 105:44, Psa 105:45\nyour children: Exo 13:8, Exo 13:9, Exo 13:14, Exo 13:15, Exo 13:22; Deu 6:7, Deu 11:19, Deu 32:7; Jos 4:6, Jos 4:7, Jos 4:21-24; Psa 78:3-6; Psa 145:4; Isa 38:19; Eph 6:4\nIt is the sacrifice: Exo 12:11, Exo 12:23, Exo 34:25; Deu 16:2, Deu 16:5; Co1 5:7\nbowed: Exo 4:31, Exo 34:8; Ch1 29:20; Ch2 20:18, Ch2 29:30; Neh 8:6\nat midnight: Exo 12:12, Exo 11:4, Exo 13:15; Job 34:20; Th1 5:2, Th1 5:3\nthe 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. Num 3:13, Num 8:17, Num 33:4; Psa 78:51, Psa 105:36, Psa 135:8, Psa 136:10; Heb 11:28; Heb 12:23\nthe firstborn of Pharaoh: Exo 4:23, Exo 11:5\ndungeon: Heb. house of the pit, Isa 24:22, Isa 51:14; Jer 38:6, Jer 38:13; Zac 9:11\nand 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!

Their being bound up in their clothes may mean no more than their being wrapped up in their hykes, or long, loose, garments.

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.
