Lesson 5 for August 2, 2025
www.gmahktanjungpinang.org
“ ‘And it shall be, when
your children say to you,
“What do you mean by this
service?” 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” ’ ”
Exodus 12:26, 27, NKJV
The Warning (Exodus 11)
The Preparation (Exodus 12:1-16)
The Blood and the Yeast (Exodus 12:17-23)
Remember and Teach (Exodus 12:24-28)
The Tenth Plague (Exodus 12:29-30)
 The tenth plague struck every family in Egypt that refused to
follow God's instructions. It didn't come suddenly, but was
announced many days in advance.
 It was, in fact, a test of faith. No one needed to die that
night. Everyone had the opportunity to save the life of their
firstborn.
 Only the Lamb was condemned. Only he was to die. Only his
blood would make the Destroyer pass by. Why? Because ONLY
CHRIST SAVES. And this was to be remembered from
generation to generation… until He comes.
After three days of darkness,
Pharaoh became angry with
Moses and forbade him to
return to the palace (Ex.
10:28).
But Moses could not obey this
order, for the life of Pharaoh's
firstborn was at stake. In his
role as Pharaoh's "god“ (Exod.
7:1), he had to warn him of
what he was about to do
(Amos 3:7).
For the proud, arrogant
and exploitative:
punishment, and the
obligation to return what
was extorted
(Ex. 11:4-5, 2)
For the obedient to God's
commands: to pass over
punishment, and to be
freed ( Ex . 11:7-8)
The time of divine judgment has come (Ex. 12:12):
Now it was Moses who left Pharaoh's presence in anger. Angry at his
stubbornness and the consequences of his decision. Despite their respect for
Moses, many Egyptians refused to heed the warning (Ex. 11:3).
“And the Lord said to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh
and on Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you
go, he will surely drive you out of here altogether.’” (Exodus 11:1 NKJV )
THE WARNING
God explained in
detail what they had
to do so that the
Destroyer would “pass
over” (Pesach,
Passover), and the
firstborn would not
die:
On the 10th they were to set aside a lamb
without defect for each family, or for
several families (Ex. 12:3-5).
On the 14th, at dusk, they were to
sacrifice it (Ex. 12:6)
They were to anoint the doorposts and
lintel with the blood (Ex. 12:7)
They were to eat the meat completely
roasted, with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs
(Ex. 12:8-10)
While they were eating it hastily, they
were to be dressed and ready to go (Ex.
12:11)
When they left Egypt, they were to
continue eating unleavened bread for
seven days
God prepared His
people to
understand His
grace, and to
worship Him (Ex.
12:27b).
“Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the tenth of this month
every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his
father, a lamb for a household” (Exodus 12:3)
THE
PREPARATION
They were to remove yeast from their
homes and bake bread without it
(unleavened bread). Since the departure
was imminent, they would not have
yeast during its initial stages (Ex. 12:17–
20). This yeast is a symbol of sin, and
unleavened bread symbolizes new life in
Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 5:6–8; 2 Cor. 5:17).
On the 14th, two elements played a crucial role in the ceremony: blood and yeast.
Blood was the salvific
element. It represented
Jesus' blood—which He shed
on the cross—so that, at the
Judgment, God would "pass
over" our condemnation.
(1
John 1:7 ; 2:1-2).
The hyssop with
which the blood was
to be sprinkled (Ex.
12:22) is a symbol
of the purification
of sin (Ps. 51:7).
“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” (Exodus 12:21)
THE BLOOD AND
THE YEAST
Even before bringing them out of Egypt, God taught
the Hebrew families to preserve their history by
telling it to their children each year (Exod. 12:24-27).
From then on, Passover would be a family
celebration. An opportunity for parents to pass on the
knowledge of God to their children.
The story of liberation had to be explained in detail,
and in the first person (Dt . 26:5-9).
This contains a very special lesson for us. We must
pass on our faith to our children. We must tell them
about what God has done, not only in history, but
also in our own lives. We must bow down to them
and worship (Ex. 12:27).
“And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for
you and your sons forever” (Exodus 12:24)
REMEMBER AND TEACH
 Pharaoh had ordered the killing of all Hebrew boys without
exception (Ex. 1:22). God determined the conditional
death of only the firstborn (Ex. 12:29). In every house
where the blood of the lamb was not anointed, at least one
person died (Ex. 12:30).
 The judgments of God had fallen in full force upon the
Egyptian gods, of whom Pharaoh was the representative
(Ex. 12:12).
 No Egyptian god raised his hand to help, nor could Pharaoh
do anything to prevent the disaster.
As with Pharaoh, our sin can
negatively affect others. But,
as with Moses, our
faithfulness and
steadfastness can save many.
“And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the
firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of
livestock” (Exodus 12:29)
THE TENTH
PLAGUE
“They were required to separate themselves and their children from the
Egyptians, and gather them into their own houses, for if any of the Israelites
were found in the houses of the Egyptians, they would fall by the hand of the
destroying angel. They were also directed to keep the feast of the passover for
an ordinance, that when their children should inquire what such service meant,
they should relate to them their wonderful preservation in Egypt. That when
the destroying angel went forth in the night to slay the first-born of man, and
the first-born of beast, he passed over their houses, and not one of the
Hebrews was slain that had the token of blood upon their door-posts. […] They
[some Egyptians] entreated to be permitted to come to the houses of the
Israelites with their families, upon that fearful night when the angel of God
should slay the first-born of the Egyptians. They were convinced that their gods
whom they had worshiped were without knowledge, and had no power to save
or to destroy. The Israelites welcomed the believing Egyptians to their houses”
EGW ( Spiritual Gifts, vol. 3, p. 223)
