Commentary

4 notes on this verse
And in the fourteenth day of the first month,.... The month Nisan, as the Targum of Jonathan or Abib, which, upon the Israelites coming out of Egypt, and on that account, was made the first month; otherwise Tisri or September was the first month, see Exo 12:2, is the passover of the Lord; a feast in which a lamb was killed and eaten, in memory of the Lord's passing over the houses of the Israelites, when he slew the firstborn in Egypt; see Exo 12:6.

This site's exposition

in the fourteenth day of the first month

on Numbers 28:16-19

The passover is fixed by date and the feast of unleavened bread runs from the following day for seven days, as Exodus 12:6 and Leviticus 23:5-6 had set them. What this chapter adds is the offering at the altar for those days, which Barnes observes had not been prescribed anywhere before. The household lamb of Exodus 12 goes unmentioned here, since the subject is what the nation brings, and the burnt offering named in verse 19 is the same one the new moon received in verse 11.

The record, by era

The Nineteenth Century2 voices

The Passover offering was the same as that of the New moon, and was repeated on each of the seven days of the festival, thus marking the importance and the solemnity of the occasion. The details of the offering had not been previously prescribed.
