The people bowed and worshiped.

Contextual Overview
21And Moses calls for all [the] elderly of Israel and says to them, "Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter the Passover-sacrifice; 22and you have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and you, you do not go out—each from the opening of his house—until morning. 23And YHWH has passed on to strike the Egyptians, and has seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, and YHWH has passed over the opening, and does not permit the destruction to come into your houses to strike. 24And you have observed this thing for a statute to you and to your sons for all time;25and it has been, when you come to the land which YHWH gives to you as He has spoken, that you have kept this service; 26and it has come to pass, when your sons say to you, What [is] this service you have? 27That you have said, It [is] a sacrifice of Passover to YHWH, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His striking the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered." 28And the people bow and pay respect, and the sons of Israel go and do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.
Bible Verse Review

Exodus 12:14, Genesis 17:8-10
Reciprocal: Exodus 13:10 - General Numbers 15:15 - an ordinance Psalms 44:1 - have heard Psalms 78:7 - not forget
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and thy sons for ever. Not this last thing of sprinkling the blood, which was peculiar to the passover in Egypt; but the whole before observed relating to the feast of the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread, and all the rites appertaining to them, which were to be observed until the coming of Christ.
