The Jewish festival remembering when God rescued Israel from Egypt
lightbulbGod literally passed over the houses with blood on the door — the original skip button
An annual celebration of the Exodus, when God 'passed over' Israelite homes marked with lamb's blood and struck down Egypt's firstborn. Jesus was crucified during Passover — He became the ultimate Passover Lamb.
The Comeback Passover
Passover is introduced here as the forgotten celebration at the heart of Israel's spiritual identity — its neglect signals just how far the nation has drifted from God before Hezekiah's revival begins.
When Generosity Got Out of Hand
The Passover celebration from the previous chapter is cited as the spiritual catalyst that ignited the generosity and reform this entire chapter describes.
The Greatest Passover and the Fall of a Good King
The Passover is introduced as the capstone event of Josiah's reform — described as unprecedented in centuries, it will prove to be the greatest act of national worship since Samuel's era.
How Long Will You Refuse?
Exodus 10:1-6Passover is invoked here as the future memorial these events are building toward — God explicitly says the signs performed in Egypt will become the story retold at every Passover table.
Who Gets a Seat at This Table
Exodus 12:43-51The Passover is being codified here with precise participation rules for all future generations — including the striking detail that no bones of the lamb may be broken, a detail that will echo centuries later.
Bread from the Sky
The Passover is referenced here as a timestamp — it's been exactly one month since that night of rescue, making Israel's complaints about wanting to return to Egypt all the more striking.
Three Times a Year, Show Up
Exodus 23:14-19Passover anchors the first of three required annual festivals here — the Feast of Unleavened Bread is tied directly to the Exodus event, ensuring Israel regularly returns to the memory of their rescue.
