Shemot (Exodus) 12:11 ... it is HaShem'S passover (priests, tradition, translation, blood)

Pollute? Dear me! That was not my intent. I will erase the previous posts for you. Have a great day!

The term means teacher or more literally, master. John 20:16 ...Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Are you "Jewish" now? And the Hebrew noun translated "Passover" is pesach whereas the verb form is pasach. The Aramaic word is psska, from this Aramaic word, the Greeks derived the term pascha. There are various ways the word "Passover" is used in God's Word. One usage is in direct reference to the Passover lamb itself Exodus 12:21. A second usage pertains to the slaughtering of the Passover lamb on the 14th of Nisan. A third usage is in reference to the Passover meal eaten in the night of the beginning of the 15th. A fourth usage is in reference to the entire 7 day Feast of Unleavened Bread. This is a major usage, it is the figure of speech synecdoche in which an important part is used to stand for the whole. There is also an interesting reference by Josepphus stating " we keep a feast for eight days, which is called the feast of unleavened bread" (Josephus Antiquiteis of the Jews). This statement indicates that 1st century Judeans at times included the day of the Passover sacrifice with the seven-day Feast and referred to it as "a feast for eight days". Obviously there are various usages and should be understood and distinguished what is being deonoted in context. As for 12:11, the very first usage of the word, the context is the killing of the Passover lamb, the covering of the doorposts with the lamb's blood, and the eating of the Passover meal. The angel of death "passed over" all households who carried this command.

Well, that was underwhelming, but thanks for sharing.

Ye must feel enlightened. Perhaps a rank above Servant in the eyes of your Rabbi. Initiate? Segal, The Hebrew Passover, attempts to clarify "Passover" by using the Hebrew word pesah to refer to the ceremonies which is the sacrifice and meal however it's not a matter of guessing which translation is correct but rather the usage of the word when it is essential to understanding the context. And the Passover has everything to do with the coming of the Messiah, however that is spiritually discerned. Exodus 12:21:...Draw out and take you a lamb according to your familes, and kill the passover." Clearly the Israelites were to kill the Passover lamb, not to kill a certain event, action, or time period. Leviticus 23:5: In the fourteenth of the month between the evenings is the Lord's passover." Passover here pertains to the slaughtering of the lamb. Luke 22:8-13 " And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a skin of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a larger upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover." The word Passover in the 8-13 scriptures refers to the Passover meal and the details associated with it. In context it must refer to more than just the lamb. Jesus sent them there to find a room to eat the Passover meal and to make it ready. Luke 22:1 "Now the feast of unleavened bread drew night, which is called the Passover." Here the entire feast is refered to as "the Passover". I Corinthians 5:7 Christ our Passover was sacrficed for us. You see in Egypt, the sprinkling of the blood of the lamb on the doorposts caused the "destroyer" to pass over them. The shedding of the lamb's blood was representative of the attonement for sin. By the shedding of blood the children of Israel were spared from the consequences of their sins. This truth is seen in Leviticus and Hebrews. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission" The Temple and private homes were to be cleansed of all leaven and other contaminations that would defile Israel for the Feast. All priests and Levites went through a personal legal cleansing as did other participants. Preparations are found in Exodus, Numbers, II Chronicles, John. And with all of this background, if one looks specifically at Jesus Christ's final week of natural life he is absolutely marked out as God's Son.

Np, Deut. It's a pleasure to disgust you.
