- | * strangers cannot partake in the ordinance of the passover, but if they are converted, they may - "And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no bstranger eat thereof: But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.", "And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof." | + | * strangers cannot partake in the ordinance of the passover, but if they are converted, they may. I believe that in this case, that circumcision symbolizes that they have joined the church. "And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no bstranger eat thereof: But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.", "And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof." |
