Pesach (Passover)

 Exodus 12:4, “And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.”    The mechanical breakdown of the phrase in bold would… Read More »Pesach: We Are Our Brothers’ Keepers

Exodus 12:3, “Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their father’s houses, a lamb for a household.” Numbers in the bible have meaning beyond the obvious practical aspects of enumeration.  Seven, for example, is the… Read More »The Tenth of the Month

Exodus 12:3 “Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.” The Hebrew word for “congregation” is aydat (Strongs H5712) which comes from the simple root word ayd.   Ayd is translated as… Read More »Immigration Nation
