A Sacred, Protected Meal
Commentators explain that the Passover was a sacred ordinance exclusively for the covenant community of Israel. The restriction against "foreigners" was to prevent profanation and protect the sacredness of the meal, which symbolized God's special relationship with His chosen people. John Calvin refers to it as a "sacred bond" that distinguished Israel from other nations.
