he kept.
Éx. 12:3‑14,21‑30• 3Hablad á toda la congregación de Israel, diciendo: En el diez de aqueste mes tómese cada uno un cordero por las familias de los padres, un cordero por familia:
4Mas si la familia fuere pequeña que no baste á comer el cordero, entonces tomará á su vecino inmediato á su casa, y según el número de las personas, cada uno conforme á su comer, echaréis la cuenta sobre el cordero.
5El cordero será sin defecto, macho de un año: tomaréislo de las ovejas ó de las cabras:
6Y habéis de guardarlo hasta el día catorce de este mes; y lo inmolará toda la congregación del pueblo de Israel entre las dos tardes.
7Y tomarán de la sangre, y pondrán en los dos postes y en el dintel de las casas en que lo han de comer.
8Y aquella noche comerán la carne asada al fuego, y panes sin levadura: con hierbas amargas lo comerán.
9Ninguna cosa comeréis de él cruda, ni cocida en agua, sino asada al fuego; su cabeza con sus pies y sus intestinos.
10Ninguna cosa dejaréis de él hasta la mañana; y lo que habrá quedado hasta la mañana, habéis de quemarlo en el fuego.
11Y así habéis de comerlo: ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestros zapatos en vuestros pies, y vuestro bordón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente: es la Pascua de Jehová.
12Pues yo pasaré aquella noche por la tierra de Egipto, y heriré á todo primogénito en la tierra de Egipto, así en los hombres como en las bestias: y haré juicios en todos los dioses de Egipto. YO JEHOVÁ.
13Y la sangre os será por señal en las casas donde vosotros estéis; y veré la sangre, y pasaré de vosotros, y no habrá en vosotros plaga de mortandad, cuando heriré la tierra de Egipto.
14Y este día os ha de ser en memoria, y habéis de celebrarlo como solemne á Jehová durante vuestras generaciones: por estatuto perpetuo lo celebraréis.
21Y Moisés convocó á todos los ancianos de Israel, y díjoles: Sacad, y tomaos corderos por vuestras familias, y sacrificad la pascua.
22Y tomad un manojo de hisopo, y mojadle en la sangre que estará en una jofaina, y untad el dintel y los dos postes con la sangre que estará en la jofaina; y ninguno de vosotros salga de las puertas de su casa hasta la mañana.
23Porque Jehová pasará hiriendo á los Egipcios; y como verá la sangre en el dintel y en los dos postes, pasará Jehová aquella puerta, y no dejará entrar al heridor en vuestras casas para herir.
24Y guardaréis esto por estatuto para vosotros y para vuestros hijos para siempre.
25Y será, cuando habréis entrado en la tierra que Jehová os dará, como tiene hablado, que guardaréis este rito.
26Y cuando os dijeren vuestros hijos: ¿Qué rito es este vuestro?
27Vosotros responderéis: Es la víctima de la Pascua de Jehová, el cual pasó las casas de los hijos de Israel en Egipto, cuando hirió á los Egipcios, y libró nuestras casas. Entonces el pueblo se inclinó y adoró.
28Y los hijos de Israel se fueron, é hicieron puntualmente así; como Jehová había mandado á Moisés y á Aarón.
29Y aconteció que á la medianoche Jehová hirió á todo primogénito en la tierra de Egipto, desde el primogénito de Faraón que se sentaba sobre su trono, hasta el primogénito del cautivo que estaba en la cárcel, y todo primogénito de los animales.
30Y levantóse aquella noche Faraón, él y todos sus siervos, y todos los Egipcios; y había un gran clamor en Egipto, porque no había casa donde no hubiese muerto.

the sprinkling.
 the putting of the blood upon the door posts, was never repeated. What a witness to the one offering which avails forever, in the midst of a system of many and manifold sacrifices till He came Whose death vindicated and fulfilled it! (Hebrews 11:27-29 by W. Kelly)
 Faith is not our estimate of the Lamb's blood, but resting on His estimate of it. (Hebrews 11:27-29 by W. Kelly)
 in verses 28-31 faith displays itself in a trust that reposes on God with regard to the use of the means which He sets before us, and of which nature cannot avail itself. (Hebrews 11 by J.N. Darby)
 God has provided the means of securing safety in the presence of judgment. (Hebrews 11 by J.N. Darby)
 By the act of putting the blood on the door, the people acknowledged that they were as much the objects of the just judgment of God as the Egyptians. (Hebrews 11 by J.N. Darby)
 Faith rests, not on our estimate of the blood of the Lamb, but on God’s perfect estimate. (Faith Overcoming the Present World: Hebrews 11:23-40 by H. Smith)
 "By faith he kept the passover,"-not "they." It was between God and the Mediator (Heb 11:28). All the work of our salvation was done between God and Christ: we had no part in it. (Hunt’s Sayings - 567 by R. Hunt)

By faith he celebratedd the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

JND Translation Notes

d
Here and ver. 17, as to the offering up Isaac, the verbs are in the perfect; this is remarkable. The other facts are generally passing facts, part of the whole history; these are of standing significance, either figuratively setting the believer on a new ground, or viewed as continued till the time of the epistle. "by faith Abraham has offered," "by faith he has celebrated"; only this is not possible in English. It was not external continuance, for the blood sprinkling was only once.

W. Kelly Translation

By faith he hath celebrated the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
