Exodus 12:9BSB
Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.
Significance
Exodus 12:9 commands that the Passover lamb be roasted over fire (צְלִי־אֵשׁ, tseli-esh) and explicitly prohibits boiling it in water (בָּשֵׁל מְבֻשָּׁל בַּמָּיִם, bashel mevushal bamayim). 2 Chronicles 35:13 describes Josiah's Passover where they "roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation" while boiling the other holy offerings separately. The Chronicler carefully distinguishes between Passover lambs (roasted per Exodus 12) and supplementary offerings (boiled), harmonizing the Exodus 12 fire-roasting command with Deuteronomy 16:7's use of בָּשַׁל (bashal, "cook"), showing that Josiah's reform faithfully observed the Mosaic ordinance down to the cooking method.
