Psalm: 97

Meditation: Ex
Why was it so important for the Israelites to treat the first and subsequent Passover observances with reverence and obedience to God’s instruction? Why do you think only Israelites and their bond servants(slaves) were acceptable participants? Hired help, foreigners, and other guests were not allowed. The Isralites were even told not to take any of the meal outside the house.
