Read Exodus 12 in context

Scripture Focus

24And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

25And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

Exodus 12:24-27

Biblical Context

Exodus 12:24-27 commands an enduring ordinance to remember God's deliverance and teach the next generation. It frames the rite as a prompt to tell the inner story of salvation when asked.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines reveal that the exodus is not a historical event outside you but a shift of consciousness. The ordinance is a practice in the mind, a standing instruction to remain faithful to the I AM as the inner protector. The land promised is the inner realization, the state where fear is dissolved by the awareness that the I AM is always present, always delivering. The 'house' and the 'Egypt' are your mental houses and habits; when you observe this service, you keep the door open for the miracle of redemption to cross your thresholds. When children question the service, you answer with a living allegory: the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover is the recognition that the I AM passes over your mind, sparing you from the bondage of limitation. The bowing of the head becomes an inner surrender to awareness, a worship of your own waking consciousness. Thus the ritual becomes a practical discipline for keeping faith in the universal deliverer within you.
