Keluaran 12:17

12:17 So you will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because on this very ³  day I brought your regiments ⁴  out from the land of Egypt, and so you must keep this day perpetually as a lasting ordinance. ⁵ 

[33:1]  ¹ sn This material can be arranged into four sections: from Egypt to Sinai (vv. 1-15), the wilderness wanderings (vv. 16-36), from Kadesh to Moab (vv. 37-49), and final orders for Canaan (vv. 50-56).

[33:1]  ² tn Heb “hand.”

[12:17]  ³ tn Heb “on the bone of this day.” The expression means “the substance of the day,” the day itself, the very day (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 95).

[12:17]  ⁴ tn The word is “armies” or “divisions” (see Exod 6:26 and the note there; cf. also 7:4). The narrative will continue to portray Israel as a mighty army, marching forth in its divisions.

[12:17]  ⁵ tn See Exod 12:14.
