Study note
Setting — God gives these instructions to Israel following the covenant renewal, positioned between commands about appearing before Him three times yearly and bringing firstfruits to the temple.
The words — The Hebrew תִשְחַט (tishchat, "you must slaughter") and יָלִין (yalin, "it will remain overnight") frame the two prohibitions: mixing sacrificial blood with leaven and delaying the Passover offering past dawn.
The thread — The ban on offering blood with leaven recurs in Exodus 23:18, while the rule against letting the Passover sacrifice remain until morning aligns with Exodus 12:10.
Why it lands — The text commands Israel to keep sacrificial blood separate from leaven and to consume the Passover offering before morning. Readers must enforce these boundaries to preserve ritual order and strict adherence to divine timing in worship.
