So Ex 12:50-51 tells us what has just transpired. "Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron. And on that same day the LORD brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts." There we see that the sons of Israel did their part and Jehovah did His part. The people killed the lamb and covered their doors with blood. The LORD saw the blood and protected the firstborn in the household. The death of the firstborn in the Egyptian households prompted Pharaoh and the Egyptians to compel Israel to leave, and thus we see how death of the firstborn resulted in deliverance of Israel from bondage. Now that Israel's deliverance is a certainty, in Exodus 13:1-16 the Spirit turns Israel's attention to the future and specifically to two truths or symbols, (1) the firstborn and (2) the feast of unleavened bread. The Spirit knows that the recall of these two truths would in turn enable Israel to remember what Jehovah did for them in in delivering them from Egyptian bondage. At first reading Exodus 13 can be somewhat confusing but on closer observation can be divided as follows: Exodus 13:1-2 God to Moses - Firstborn Exodus 13:3-10 Moses to People - Feast of Unleavened Bread Exodus 13:11-16 Moses to People - Firstborn Continued Exodus 13:17-22 Israel's Departure from Egypt Begins So as you read and study chapter 13 keep this simple outline in mind. At risk of being redundant, let me emphasize the main points (1) God gives two symbols as "memory aids" of His great deliverance - first the concept of the firstborn and second the celebration of the feast of unleavened bread (2) The firstborn discussion is in two sections - Ex 13:1-2 and Ex 13:11-16. (3) The feast of unleavened bread discussion is in one section - Ex 13:3-10 Therefore it might be helpful to read the first verses 1-2 and then skip down to verses 11-16. Then come back and read the middle section Ex 13:3-10. Matthew
