Exodus 12:46

Arabic Bible ERV 2009

«يَنبَغي أنْ يُؤكَلَ الفِصْحُ فِي بَيتٍ واحِدٍ، فَلا يَجُوزُ إخراجُ أيِّ شَيءٍ مِنَ اللَّحمِ إلَى خارِجِ البَيتِ. وَلا تَكسِرُوا عَظماً واحِداً مِنْ عِظامِهِ.

What Does This Mean?

This verse from Exodus tells us that the Passover lamb must be eaten entirely within one house, with no part taken outside, and none of its bones should be broken. Moses is relaying God's instructions to the Israelites about the Passover meal.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have a special dinner at your house. You can only eat it in your home, and you can't take any food outside. Also, you can't break the chicken bones. It's like a rule for a special family event.

Historical Background

Moses wrote this verse as part of God's instructions to the Israelites about the Passover. It was given to them just before they left Egypt. This was a time when the Israelites were about to celebrate their freedom from slavery.

Living It Out Today

In modern terms, this verse teaches us about the importance of keeping sacred traditions intact and respecting the rules of our faith. For example, if your family has a special holiday dinner, it might be important to keep the meal within the home and follow the family's customs.
