Contextual Overview

⁴³ The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the Passover regulations: No foreigner shall eat the Passover meal, ⁴⁴ but any slave that you have bought may eat it if you circumcise him first. ⁴⁵ No temporary resident or hired worker may eat it. ⁴⁶ The whole meal must be eaten in the house in which it was prepared; it must not be taken outside. And do not break any of the animal's bones. ⁴⁷ The whole community of Israel must celebrate this festival, ⁴⁸ but no uncircumcised man may eat it. If a foreigner has settled among you and wants to celebrate Passover to honor the Lord , you must first circumcise all the males of his household. He is then to be treated like a native-born Israelite and may join in the festival. ⁴⁹ The same regulations apply to native-born Israelites and to foreigners who settle among you." ⁵⁰ All the Israelites obeyed and did what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. ⁵¹ On that day the Lord brought the Israelite tribes out of Egypt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In one house shall it be eaten,.... For though there might be more lambs than one eaten in a house, where there were a sufficient number to eat them; and there might be more societies than one in a house, provided they kept themselves distinct, and were large enough each of them to eat up a lamb; yet one lamb might not be eaten in different houses, a part of it in one house, and a part of it in another; which may denote the unity of the general assembly and church of the firstborn, and the distinct separate congregations of the saints, and the right that each have to a whole Christ, who is not to be divided from his ministers, word, and ordinances;

:-:

thou shall not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house: into another house; for where there was not a sufficient number in one house to eat a lamb, their neighbours in the next house were to join with them; but then they were not to part it, and one portion of it to be eaten in one house, and the other in another, but they were to meet together in one of their houses, and there partake of it; thus, though Christ may be fed upon by faith any where by particular believers, yet in an ordinance way only in the church of God:

neither shall ye break a bone thereof; any of its tender bones to get out the marrow; and so the Targum of Jonathan adds,

"that ye may eat that which is in the midst of it:''

this was remarkably fulfilled in Christ the antitype, John 19:32.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In one house - i. e. “in one company.” Each lamb was to be entirely consumed by the members of one company, whether they belonged to the same household or not.

Break a bone - The typical significance of this injunction is recognized by John, (see the margin reference.) It is not easy to assign any other satisfactory reason for it. This victim alone was exempt from the general law by which the limbs were ordered to be separated from the body.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 46. In one house shall it be eaten — In one family, if that be large enough; if not, a neighbouring family might be invited, Exodus 12:4.

Thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh — Every family must abide within doors because of the destroying angel, none being permitted to go out of his house till the next day, Exodus 12:22.

Neither shall ye break a bone thereof. — As it was to be eaten in haste, (Exodus 12:11), there was no time either to separate the bones, or to break them in order to extract the marrow; and lest they should be tempted to consume time in this way, therefore this ordinance was given. It is very likely that, when the whole lamb was brought to table, they cut off the flesh without even separating any of the large joints, leaving the skeleton, with whatever flesh they could not eat, to be consumed with fire, Exodus 12:10. This precept was also given to point out a most remarkable circumstance which 1500 years after was to take place in the crucifixion of the Saviour of mankind, who was the true Paschal Lamb, that Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world; who, though he was crucified as a common malefactor, and it was a universal custom to break the legs of such on the cross, yet so did the providence of God order it that a bone of HIM was not broken. See the fulfilment of this wondrously expressive type, John 19:33; John 19:36.
