And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
Don't let any of it be left over until morning; whatever is left over in the morning, you must burn in the fire.
God is instructing the Israelites to completely consume the Passover lamb and burn any leftovers, showing the sacred nature of this meal.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, God provides detailed instructions to Moses for the Israelites to observe the first Passover as they prepare to escape from slavery in Egypt. This command about the Passover lamb ensures that any uneaten portions are burned by morning, symbolizing the need for complete consumption and avoidance of defilement in their sacred meal. It takes place during the height of the plagues, just before the final plague that secures their freedom.
