Contextual Overview

1And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2"This month [is] the chief of months to you—it [is] the first of the months of the year to you; 3speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they take to themselves, each man, a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house. 4And if the household is too few for a lamb, then he has taken, he and his neighbor who is near to his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating you count for the lamb. 5A lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let [it] be to you; you take [it] from the sheep or from the goats. 6And it has become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel has slaughtered it between the evenings; 7and they have taken of the blood, and have put [it] on the two doorposts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it. 8And they have eaten the flesh in this night, a roast with fire; they eat it with unleavened things and bitters; 9you do not eat of it raw, or boiled in water at all, but a roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its innards; 10and you do not leave of it until morning, and that which is remaining of it until morning you burn with fire.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the first month,.... As it was now ordered to be reckoned, the month Abib or Nisan:

the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread; that is, at the evening following, the fourteenth of Nisan, and which was the beginning of the fifteenth day, the Jews beginning their day from the evening: hence the Targum of Jonathan is,

"on the fourteenth of Nisan ye shall slay the passover, in the evening of the fifteenth ye shall eat unleavened bread:''

unto the twentieth day of the month at even; which would make just seven days; the above Targum adds,

"on the evening of the twenty second ye shall eat leavened bread,''

which was the evening following the twenty first day. This long abstinence from leaven denotes, that the whole lives of those who are Israelites indeed should be without guile, hypocrisy, and malice, and should be spent in sincerity and truth.
