A Lasting Memorial
Commentators clarify that 'this thing' to be observed forever was not the one-time act of sprinkling blood on the doorposts, but the entire Passover feast. This ordinance was to be a lasting memorial of God's deliverance. Scholars like John Gill note that 'for ever' in this context means the ordinance was to be observed until the coming of Christ, its ultimate fulfillment.
