I was thinking about this because I wondered if this applies to us now. It says to be applied for generations to come in Exodus 12:17. I am thru Exodus 13 and I feel like he applies and re-applies the rules. Very specific. How are we to interpret some of the requests in modern day times?
Those rules laid down for the Hebrews were for the Hebrew people. When Jesus came, he changed the things. His sacrifice on the cross was to take the place of the animal sacrifices. The Passover was the time when the Jews selected a lamb, on Palm Sunday they "selected" Jesus, and then sacrificed it on Friday, just as Jesus was "sacrificed" on Good Friday. Those rules were good rules for healthy and devotional living. God's visit to earth in the form of Jesus was the beginning of a new order.
