CHAP. XII. to Ver. 21.

THE beginning of the year is changed; the Passover is instituted and commanded: although the story of its institution be set after the plague of darkness, yet was it commanded before the plague of Darkness came, and it may be, before the plague of Hail or Locusts came; for assoon as ever the Darkness is over, and any Egyptian can stir, Pharaoh sendeth for Moses, Chap. 10. 24. and after some smart speeches betwixt them, Moses telleth him of the Slaughter of the first-born, that it should be the very next night, Chap. 11. 4, 8. so that the Darkness did but end on the very morning of Passover day; and it had been upon the Egyptians, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days of the month, and the Passover was on the fourteenth. Now the command for the Passover was given to Moses before the tenth day of the month at least, Chap. 12. 3. if not on the very first day of the month, as is more probable. The reason therefore why the story of the institution of it is laid after this plague, is because the Holy Ghost would handle that matter of the Passover all at once; and though the command for it, and the observation of it fell at some days distance, yet hath he brought both together, and handled the story of its institution, at that time when fell out the story of its observation, namely on the fourteenth day.
