Ringkasan:
After the 9 plaques that happened in Egypt, Pharaoh still insisted to keep the Israelites in Egypt. God told Moses about the preparation for passover:
– every family has to prepare a young and no defect lamb for each household
– it should be slaughtered in twillight, and get the blood and put it on the sides and tops of door frames of the house
– the meat should be roasted over the fire and eaten with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast
– nothing should be left
– the meal should be eaten with proper clothes and sandals and staff on their hands, and eat in haste
That night, God will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn, men and animals at the house that has no blood at the door. Those houses with blood at the door will be passed over.
Israelites obey and did what God told them. and indeed that night, all firstborns of Egyptian family died.
Pharaoh let the Israelites go this time and even the Egyptian gave the silvers and golds to them.
This passover actually symbolises the real passover when Jesus shed His blood at the cross to set His people free from sin.
