Commentary for Exodus 34:25
**Exodus 34:25** is part of the covenant renewal passage following the incident of the Golden Calf. Here, God is reiterating dietary laws and festival regulations to Moses on Mount Sinai. The verse emphasizes two main themes:
1. **Ritual Purity in Sacrifice**: The command not to offer the blood of sacrifice with leaven (yeast) underscores the importance of ritual purity in worship. Leaven often symbolizes corruption or sin in the Bible, and its exclusion from sacrifices signifies the holy and unblemished nature required in offerings to God.
2. **Observance of Passover**: The directive that the Passover sacrifice should not be left until morning reflects the historical context of the original Passover in Exodus 12. The Israelites were commanded to eat the Passover lamb in haste, with their sandals on their feet and their staffs in their hands, ready to depart from Egypt. This command serves as a perpetual reminder of the urgency and obedience required on that night and the necessity of commemorating the event annually.
**Historical Context**: The verse is set after the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, during their wilderness wanderings. It is a period when God is establishing the religious and social laws that will define the nation of Israel. The instructions given in Exodus 34 are part of the second set of tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments and additional covenantal stipulations, after Moses had shattered the first set in response to the people's idolatry. This renewal of the covenant is crucial in reaffirming the special relationship between God and Israel, with the expectation that they will obey His commands and statutes.
