God's Perfect Timing

Commentators highlight the phrase "the selfsame day" to show God's precise and sovereign timing. The deliverance from Egypt occurred exactly when God ordained, immediately following the institution of the Passover. This demonstrates that God's redemptive acts are not accidental but are carried out according to His perfect plan and power.
