**first month**
i.e. April.

**passover**
The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer [Exodus 12:1-28](../../../kjv/exodus/12/1-28); [John 1:29](../../../kjv/john/1/29); [1 Corinthians 5:6](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/5/6); [1 Corinthians 5:7](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/5/7); [1 Peter 1:18](../../../kjv/1-peter/1/18); [1 Peter 1:19](../../../kjv/1-peter/1/19).
(1) The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up for four days [Exodus 12:5](../../../kjv/exodus/12/5); [Exodus 12:6](../../../kjv/exodus/12/6). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved his holiness ; [Luke 11:53](../../../kjv/luke/11/53); [Luke 11:54](../../../kjv/luke/11/54); [John 8:46](../../../kjv/john/8/46); [John 18:38](../../../kjv/john/18/38).
(2) The Lamb thus tested must be slain [Exodus 12:6](../../../kjv/exodus/12/6); [John 12:24](../../../kjv/john/12/24); [Hebrews 9:22](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/22).
(3) The blood must be applied [Exodus 12:7](../../../kjv/exodus/12/7) This answers to appropriation by personal faith, and refutes universalism [John 3:36](../../../kjv/john/3/36).
(4) The blood thus applied of itself, without anything, constituted a perfect protection from judgment [Exodus 12:13](../../../kjv/exodus/12/13); [1 John 1:7](../../../kjv/1-john/1/7); [Hebrews 10:10](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/10); [Hebrews 10:14](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/14).
(5) The feast typified Christ as the bread of life, answering to the memorial supper. [Matthew 26:26-28](../../../kjv/matthew/26/26-28); [1 Corinthians 11:23-26](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/11/23-26). To observe the feast was a duty and privilege, but not a condition of safety. As a matter of fact, the bread was not eaten by the Israelites on the night in which, nevertheless, they were preserved from the judgment upon the firstborn. [Exodus 12:34-39](../../../kjv/exodus/12/34-39).

**mixed**
This mixed multitude, standing for unconverted church-members, was a source of weakness and division, then as now [Numbers 11:4-6](../../../kjv/numbers/11/4-6). *(See Scofield "*[Numbers 11:4-4](../../../kjv/numbers/11/4-4)*")* . There had been a manifestation of divine power, and men were drawn to it without change of heart. CF. [Luke 14:25-27](../../../kjv/luke/14/25-27).
