What did God require of the Israelites regarding the Passover and circumcision in Exodus 12?
In Exodus 12, God required the Israelites to eat the Passover, and everyone participating had to be circumcised—whether Jews, servants, or others among them. They were to be obedient in this, so circumcision was necessary for all who would share in the Passover observance.
Les explains that in Exodus chapter 12 the Israelites were to eat the Passover, and circumcision was required for everyone—Jews, servants, or whatever—so all who participated had to be circumcised. He notes that they were obedient to all that. This fits the account where Moses and Aaron prepare to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt toward Palestine, carrying Joseph’s bones because Joseph had known by faith that God would visit His covenant people.
