Verse Takeaways

1

Commentators highlight the careful distinction in how the food was prepared. The Passover lambs were roasted with fire "according to the ordinance" from Exodus, while the other holy offerings were boiled. This shows that their renewed worship was marked by careful obedience to God's specific instructions, not just general enthusiasm.
