Notes

Exodus 13:9

The annual Passover celebration was a sign to show you belonged to the Lord. It marked his ownership, reinforcing a spiritual truth.
a sign … and a reminder … the Law of the LORD: The second part of the verse can be seen either as a statement to recite or as a description of the God's work.

Exodus 13:1–10

This review of the customs for Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread prepares the way for teaching about the dedication of the firstborn (13:11–16).

Exodus 13:1–16

Like the Passover celebration, the dedication of the firstborn helped the people remember what God did during the Passover. God spared the firstborn sons of Israel. Because of this, those firstborn sons belonged to him and had to be redeemed (bought back with a price).

Each year, the people sacrificed and ate a lamb. This act pointed forward to what God would do by giving his Son, Jesus Christ, as a substitute. All people deserve death because of sin. But God redeems them through a price, the life of his Son.
