12:43-50 These additional instructions for the observance of Passover relate primarily to outsiders (12:43) and foreigners (12:48). Perhaps the presence of the non-Israelite rabble (12:38) in the community prompted these instructions. The key factor was whether or not the person was willing to become fully identified with Israel and with the Lord by submitting to circumcision.
