Contextual Overview

²¹ Then Moses called all the elders of Israel together and told them, "Get the animals for your families and kill the lamb for the Passover. ²² Take a branch of the hyssop plant, dip it into the bowl filled with blood, and then wipe the blood on the sides and tops of the doorframes. No one may leave that house until morning. ²³ When the Lord goes through Egypt to kill the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the sides and tops of the doorframes, and he will pass over that house. He will not let the one who brings death come into your houses and kill you. ²⁴ "You must keep this command as a law for you and your descendants from now on. ²⁵ Do this when you go to the land the Lord has promised to give you. ²⁶ When your children ask you, ‘Why are we doing these things?' ²⁷ you will say, ‘This is the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord . When we were in Egypt, the Lord passed over the houses of Israel, and when he killed the Egyptians, he saved our homes.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped the Lord . ²⁸ They did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, what mean ye by this service?] Of killing and roasting a lamb, and eating it with bitter herbs, and of abstaining from leavened bread.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 12:26. What mean ye by this service? — The establishment of this service annually was a very wise provision to keep up in remembrance this wonderful deliverance. From the remotest antiquity the institution of feasts, games, c., has been used to keep up the memory of past grand events. Hence God instituted the Sabbath, to keep up the remembrance of the creation and the passover to keep up the remembrance of the deliverance from Egypt. All the other feasts were instituted on similar reasons. The Jews never took their sons to the tabernacle or temple till they were twelve years of age, nor suffered them to eat of the flesh of any victim till they had themselves offered a sacrifice at the temple, which they were not permitted to do before the twelfth year of their age. It was at this age that Joseph and Mary took our blessed Lord to the temple, probably for the first time, to offer his sacrifice. See Calmet.
