MEDITATION
Exodus 12:21-28
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.
23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.
24 And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.
25 It will come to pass when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
27 that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’” So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
28 Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

沉思
《出埃及记 12：21-28》
21于是，摩西召了以色列的众长老来，对他们说：“你们要按着家口取出羊羔，把这逾越节的羊羔宰了。
22拿一把牛膝草，蘸盆里的血，打在门楣上和左右的门框上。你们谁也不可出自己的房门，直到早晨。
23因为耶和华要巡行击杀埃及人，他看见血在门楣上和左右的门框上，就必越过那门，不容灭命的进你们的房屋，击杀你们。
24这例你们要守着，作为你们和你们子孙永远的定例。
25日后，你们到了耶和华按着所应许赐给你们的那地，就要守这礼。
26你们的儿女问你们说：‘行这礼是什么意思？’
27你们就说：‘这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭，当以色列人在埃及的时候，他击杀埃及人，越过以色列人的房屋，救了我们各家。’”于是百姓低头下拜。28耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、亚伦，以色列人就怎样行。
