Exodus 12:12-19

‘For I (Ex. 11:4, 5) will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and (Num. 33:4) against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: (Ex. 6:2) I am the Lord. 

13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

14 ‘So this day shall be to you (Ex. 13:9) a memorial; and you shall keep it as a (Lev. 23:4, 5; 2 Kin. 23:21) feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast (Ex. 12:17, 24; 13:10) by an everlasting ordinance. 

15 (Ex. 13:6, 7; 23:15; 34:18; Lev. 23:6; Num. 28:17; Deut. 16:3, 8) Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, (Gen. 17:14; Ex. 12:19; Num. 9:13) that (soul) person shall be (Put to death) cut off from Israel. 

16 On the first day there shall be (Lev. 23:2, 7, 8; Num. 28:18, 25) a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you. 

17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for (Ex. 12:14; 13:3, 10) on this same day I will have brought your (hosts) armies (Num. 33:1) out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance. 

18 (Ex. 12:2; Lev. 23:5–8; Num. 28:16–25) In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 

19 For (Ex. 12:15; 23:15; 34:18) seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem.
