That which is here commanded to be remembered,1 is first in general thus expressed, This day. There is a double relative used in the original to express the set distinct time here intended, which we may thus expound, This day, this very day. The particular day here meant was that very day wherein they came out from Egypt. For in the Chapter going before it is said, that in the night the Egyptians were urgent upon the people of Israel, that they might send them out of the land in haste, ver. 30, 33. and thereupon ver. 42. it is said, This is a night to be much observed unto the Lord, for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord to be observed of the children of Israel in their generations. The day following that night they came to Succoth, the place where Moses gave this charge, for the children of Israel were in Ramases (which is in Egypt) when they first began to ⟨p. 10⟩take their journey from thence (Exod. 12.37.) thence they came to Succoth, which was the first station where they settled after they came out of Egypt, (Numb. 33.5.) The night before mentioned is comprised under this day, and so both make one natural day, the very first day of their deliverance. Yet is not this charge to be restrained to that particular day only, but to the annual revolution thereof, generation after generation. In which respect the charge is thus extended, (ver. 10.) Thou shalt keep this Ordinance in his season, from year to year.
