Deuteronomy 16:1

Deuteronomy 16:1 · BSB

the month5 parallels

the passover9 parallels

This word comes from the Hebrew verb pasach , to pass , to leap or skip over. The destroying angel passed over the houses marked with the blood of the Paschal Lamb , so the wrath of God passes over those whose souls sprinkled with the blood of Christ

  • 1 Corinthians 5:7 As the paschal lamb was killed before Israel was delivered , so by the death of Christ , we have redemption through his blood. It was killed before the tables of the law were delivered to Moses , or Aaron's sacrifices were enjoined; thus deliverance comes to men , not by the works of the law , but by the only true passover , the Lamb of God
  • Romans 3:25
  • Hebrews 9:14 It was killed the first month of the year , which prefigured that Christ should suffer death in that month
  • John 18:28 it was killed in the evening
  • Exodus 12:6 Christ suffered at that time of the day
  • Matthew 27:46
  • Hebrews 1:2 At even the sun sets; at Christ's passion , universal darkness was upon the whole earth. The passover was roasted with fire , denoting the sharp and dreadful pains that Christ should suffer , not only from men , but God also. It was to be eaten with bitter herbs
  • Exodus 12:8 not only to put them in remembrance of their bitter bondage in Egypt , but also to testify our mortification to sin , and readiness to undergo afflictions for Christ
  • Colossians 1:24 and likewise to teach us the absolute necessity of true repentance in all that would profitably feed by faith on Christ , the true paschal lamb

in all thy gates This expression may refer to the gate of the city , as the forum or place of public concourse among the Israelites , where a court of judicature was held , to try all causes and decide all affairs. The same practice obtained among other Eastern nations. The Ottoman court , it is well known , derived its appellation of the Porte , from the distribution of justice and the dispatch of public business at its gates. And the square tower which forms the principal entrance to the Alhamra , or red palace of the Moorish kings of Grenada , retains to this day the appellation of the Gate of judgment , from its having been the place where justice was at one period summarily administered.
