NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “and they will take for them a man a lamb.” This is clearly a distributive, or individualizing, use of “man.” 2 tn The שֶּׂה (seh) is a single head from the flock, or smaller cattle, which would include both sheep and goats. 3 tn Heb “according to the house of their fathers.” The expression “house of the father” is a common expression for a family. sn The Passover was to be a domestic institution. Each lamb was to be shared by family members. 4 tn Heb “house” (also at the beginning of the following verse). |
