4. And ye shall eat it in haste.] This is the last ceremony, and it is laid down as a reason of the former. And the reason of this reason is expressed, vers. 33. For God intending to bring that great judgement on the Egyptians; and foreseeing how the Egyptians would thereupon deal with the Israelites, by forcing them to be gone upon the sudden, he doth thus provide, that they should be all in readiness to depart.
4. And yee shall eate it in haste.] This is the last ceremony, and it is laid downe as a reason of the former. And the reason of this reason is expressed, vers. 33. For God intending to bring that great iudgement on the Egyptians; and foreseeing how the Egyptians would thereupon deale with the Israelites, by forcing them to bee gone vpon the sudden, hee doth thus prouide, that they should be all in readinesse to depart.
Doct. God is careful to provide help for his people, when they are in any straits. When the World was on the sudden to be drowned, he caused Noah to make an Ark before hand to save himself. When the Children of Israel travailed through the Wilderness, and were to depart from every place on a sudden at the rising of the Cloud and Pillar of fire, God caused them to dwell in tents, and not to build houses. So that every way he doth fit and prepare his people to those states that he means to bring them. For he that fore-warned, is fore-armed; and troubles that come on a sudden, make men at their wits end, and cause many distractions.
