📚 Historical Context
This command was given during the second year after Israel's exodus from Egypt, while they were camped in the wilderness of Sinai. The Passover was the annual commemoration of God's deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, when the angel of death 'passed over' their homes that were marked with lamb's blood. This would be the first Passover celebrated in the wilderness, establishing it as an ongoing observance for the nation.
