A Future-Focused Command

The command to keep the Passover was not just for the generation in Egypt. Commentators note that God explicitly tied this act of worship to the future, for when the Israelites would be in the Promised Land. This establishes the remembrance of redemption as a permanent, foundational practice for God's people, not just a response to a past crisis.
