9847_305 | first-born. Passover involves a ritual meal called a Seder during which parts of the exodus |
9847_306 | narrative are retold. In the Hagaddah of the Seder it is written that every generation is obliged |
9847_307 | to remind and identify itself in terms of the Exodus. Thus the following words from the Pesaḥim |
9847_308 | (10:5) are recited:”In every generation a person is duty-bound to regard himself as if he |
9847_309 | personally has gone forth from Egypt”. |
9847_310 | Because the Israelites fled Egypt in haste without time for bread to rise, the unleavened bread |
9847_311 | matzoh is eaten on Passover, and homes must be cleansed of any items containing leavening agents, |
9847_312 | known as Chametz. |
9847_313 | Shavuot celebrates the granting of the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai; Jews are called to rededicate |
9847_314 | themselves to the covenant on this day. Some denominations follow Shavuot with The Three Weeks, |
9847_315 | during which the "two most heinous sins committed by the Jews in their relationship to God" are |
9847_316 | mourned: the Golden Calf and the doubting of God's promise by the Twelve Spies. A third Jewish |
9847_317 | festival, Sukkot, the Festival of Booths, is associated with the Israelites living in booths after |
9847_318 | they left their previous homes in Egypt. It celebrates how God provided for the Israelites while |
9847_319 | they wandered in the desert without food or shelter. It is celebrated by building a sukkah, a |
9847_320 | temporary shelter also called a booth or tabernacle, in which the rituals of Sukkot are performed, |
9847_321 | recalling the impermanence of the Israelites' homes during the desert wanderings. |
9847_322 | Non-Jewish significance |
9847_323 | The Christian ritual of the eucharist and the holiday of Easter draw directly on the imagery of the |
9847_324 | Passover and the Exodus. In the New Testament, Jesus is frequently associated with motifs of the |
9847_325 | Exodus. The Gospel of Mark has been suggested to be a midrash on the Exodus, though scholar Larry |
9847_326 | Perkins thinks this unlikely. Mark suggests that the outpouring of Jesus' blood creates a new |
9847_327 | covenant (Mark 14:24) in the same way that Moses' sacrifice of bulls had created a covenant (Exodus |
9847_328 | 24:5). In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus reverses the direction of the Exodus by escaping from the |
9847_329 | Massacre of the Innocents committed by Herod the Great before himself returning from Egypt (Matt |
9847_330 | 2:13-15). Other parallels in Matthew include that he is baptized by water (Matt 3:13-17), and |
9847_331 | tested in the desert; unlike the Israelites, he is able to resist temptation (Matt. 4.1-3). The |
9847_332 | Gospel of John repeatedly calls Jesus the Passover lamb (John 1:29, 13:1, 19:36), something also |
9847_333 | found in 1 Peter (1 Pet 1:18-20), and 1 Corinthians (1 Cor 5:7-8). Michael Graves calls Paul's |
9847_334 | discussion of the exodus in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 and his comparison of the early church in Corinth |
9847_335 | to the Israelites in the desert "[t]he two most significant NT passages touching on the exodus." |
9847_336 | John also refers to Jesus as manna (John 6:31-5), water flowing from a rock in the desert (John |
9847_337 | 7:37-9) and as a pillar of fire (John 8:12). Early Christians frequently interpreted actions taken |
9847_338 | in the Exodus, and sometimes the Exodus as a whole, typologically to prefigure Jesus or actions of |
9847_339 | Jesus. |
9847_340 | In Romans 9:17, Paul interprets the hardened heart of Pharaoh during the Plagues of Egypt as |
9847_341 | referring to the hardened hearts of the Jews who rejected Christ. Early Christian authors such as |
9847_342 | Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Augustine all emphasized the supersession of the Old Covenant of Moses |
9847_343 | by the New Covenant of Christ, which was open to all people rather than limited to the Jews. |
9847_344 | A number of historical events and situations have been compared to the Exodus. Many early American |
9847_345 | settlers interpreted their flight from Europe to a new life in America as a new exodus. American |
9847_346 | "founding fathers" Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin recommended for the Great Seal of the |
9847_347 | United States to depict Moses leading the Israelites across the Red Sea. African Americans |
9847_348 | suffering under slavery and racial oppression interpreted their situation in terms of the Exodus, |
9847_349 | making it a catalyst for social change. South American Liberation theology also takes much |
9847_350 | inspiration from the Exodus. |
