The fourteenth day
This phrase marks a specific time in the Hebrew calendar, the 14th of Nisan (also known as Abib), which is significant in the Jewish tradition. The number fourteen often symbolizes deliverance or salvation in the Bible. Historically, this day is crucial as it commemorates the Israelites' deliverance from Egyptian bondage. The precision of this date underscores the importance of divine timing in God's plan for His people. It reminds believers of the meticulous nature of God's promises and His faithfulness in fulfilling them.

of the first month
The "first month" refers to Nisan, which is the beginning of the religious calendar for the Israelites. This month is significant as it marks the start of a new year in terms of spiritual renewal and redemption. Theologically, it represents a new beginning, a fresh start for the people of God. In the broader biblical narrative, it points to the new life and hope that God offers to His people, a theme that resonates with the Christian understanding of new life in Christ.

is the LORD’s Passover
The term "LORD’s Passover" is deeply rooted in the historical and spiritual identity of Israel. The Passover (Hebrew: Pesach) commemorates the night when the Lord "passed over" the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, sparing them from the plague of the firstborn. This event is a powerful symbol of God's deliverance and protection. In the Christian context, the Passover foreshadows the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who delivers believers from the bondage of sin. The Passover is not just a historical event but a perpetual reminder of God's redemptive power and His covenant faithfulness. It calls believers to remember and celebrate the salvation that God provides, ultimately fulfilled in Christ.

(16, 17) And in the fourteenth day of the first month . . . --The observance of the Passover had been in abeyance for thirty-eight years. The law is now promulgated afresh. The observance of the first and seventh days of the feast are enjoined in Exodus 12:16 and Leviticus 23:7-8; and in the latter place it is enjoined that an offering made by fire should be offered for seven days. The nature of that offering is stated in the 19th verse of this chapter, and the fact that the details are not found in Leviticus 23 may be adduced in proof of the prospective character of much of the Levitical legislation.
