Tomorrow at twilight begins the historical ‘slaughter of the lambs at twilight’, which kicks off Passover.
Good Friday stands as the most significant day in history. Without Jesus’s death and resurrection, his birth is meaningless. Read the passage below for a step-by-step description of events as if we were there.
Exodus 12:1-6, “The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, ‘This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
