Cross-References
The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land I will show you.
I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you. I will make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will place a curse on those who harm you. And all the people on earth will be blessed through you."
So Abram left Haran as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. At this time Abram was 75 years old.
Then he traveled from Shechem to the mountain east of Bethel and set up his tent there. Bethel was to the west, and Ai was to the east. There Abram built another altar to the Lord and worshiped him.
So the king sent for Abram and said, "What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me Sarai was your wife?
Along with many other people, the sons of Israel went to Egypt to buy grain, because the people in the land of Canaan were also hungry.
Still no food grew in the land of Canaan.
The hunger became worse, and since there was no food anywhere in the land, Egypt and Canaan became very poor.
Long ago when the judges ruled Israel, there was a shortage of food in the land.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning,.... It was to be all ate up; a whole Christ is to be received and fed upon by faith; Christ in both his natures, divine and human, united in his person, in all his offices of prophet, priest, and King, and with all the benefits and blessings of his grace, and which come by his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice:
and that which remaineth of it until the morning, ye shall burn with fire: what of the flesh which remaineth not ate, and what of it that could not be eaten, as the bones, which were not broken, and the nerves and sinews, which might not be eaten; and so runs the Jewish canon d,
"the bones, and the sinews, and what remains, they shall burn on the sixteenth day; and if the sixteenth happens on the sabbath, they shall burn on the seventeenth.''
The reason of this law was, that what was left might not be converted to common or superstitious uses, as also that the Israelites might not be burdened with it in their journey, nor the Egyptians have an opportunity of treating it with contempt.
d Misn. ut supra, (Persch. c. 7.) sect. 10.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This was afterward a general law of sacrifices; at once preventing all possibility of profanity, and of superstitious abuse. The injunction is on both accounts justly applied by our Church to the eucharist.
Burn with fire - Not being consumed by man, it was thus offered, like other sacrifices Exodus 12:8, to God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 12:10. Ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning — Merely to prevent putrefaction; for it was not meet that a thing offered to God should be subjected to corruption, which in such hot countries it must speedily undergo. Thus the body of our blessed Lord saw no corruption, Psalms 16:10; Acts 2:27, because, like the paschal lamb, it was a sacrifice offered to God.
It appears that from the Jewish passover the heathens borrowed their sacrifice termed PROPTER VIAM. It was their custom previously to their undertaking a journey, to offer a sacrifice to their gods, and to eat the whole if possible, but if any part was left they burned it with fire; and this was called propter viam, because it was made to procure a prosperous journey. It was in reference to this that Cato is said to have rallied a person called Q. Albidius, who, having eaten up all his goods, set fire to his house, his only remaining property. "He has offered his sacrifice propter viam," says Cato, "because he has burned what he could not eat." This account is given by Macrobius, Saturn., lib. ii., 2, edit. Bipont., vol. 1., p. 333; and is a remarkable instance how closely some of the religious observances of the people of God have been copied by the heathen nations.
