Notice that the Passover is slayed during
daylight hours on the 14;
Numbers 28:16, “And in the fourteenth day
of the first month is [the passover of the Lord]”
Passover lamb was to be sacrificed “in the evening”
(Exodus 12:6) on the 14th day of the first month.
6And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the
whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.[KJV]
“In the evening” is between sunset and dark.
or "between the evening hours"[not daylight hours]
The days went from evening to evening.
Deuteronomy 16:6 confirms this when it says the lamb
was sacrificed “at even, at the going down of the sun.”
the time between sunset and deep twilight. This is be-
tween the two days, when one ends the other starts.
Just as nightfall hits, on the start of the 14th.
It would only takes a few minutes to slay a lamb just as
the sun went down, then apply the blood to there house
posts. Then they had time to cook and eat this meal.
Exodus 12:8 says the Israelites were to eat the Passover
meal “in that night.” Which night? The one mentioned in
verse 6: the 14th. After that, God smote the firstborn
“this night”. Not the next night—this night—the 14th!
"the Lord will pass over the door"
Exodus 12:21-22 the Israelites were not to leave their
houses until morning. The spoiling of the Egyptians
(Exodus 12:33-36) could have only taken place on the
afternoon[daylight portion] of the 14th, just hours before
the Israelites left Egypt the night[start] of the 15th.
Above all happened on the 14th day of Nissan.
At evening, after dark, at the start of the 15th,
they departed Egypt.
This was to be a “night to be much observed”(Exodus 12:42)
This is confirmed in Numbers 33:3: “And they departed …
on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow
AFTER the passover .…”
theyby it couldn't lawfully be eaten the night before.
I never heard of that rule?
