Exodus 13:10

Exodus 13:10

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Thou shall therefore keep the ordinance in his season,.... Not the ordinance of the phylacteries, as the Targum of Jonathan, but the ordinance of unleavened bread:from year to year; every year successively, so long as in force, even unto the coming of the Messiah.

It is in the Hebrew text, "from days to days" ; that is, either year after year, as we understand it; or else the sense is, that the feast of unleavened bread, when the season was come for keeping it, was to be observed every day for seven days running.
