Exodus 12:6-9
– v. 7: Before they ate the lamb, they had to sprinkle its blood on the doorposts of their houses . This marked their homes as protected. God would see the blood and spare their firstborn children from the destroying angel. Only the houses with blood on the doors would be safe. v. 8-11: They were told to eat the roasted lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, and to eat quickly, ready to leave Egypt at any moment (Exodus 12:8,11 a). They could not save any leftovers for the next day. This taught them to trust God for their daily needs, not to worry about tomorrow. –
