You must not offer
This phrase underscores the imperative nature of God's commandments to the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "offer" is "qarab," which means to bring near or present. This reflects the act of drawing near to God through sacrifice, a central aspect of worship in the Old Testament. The command is not merely a suggestion but a divine mandate, emphasizing the seriousness with which God views the sacrificial system.

the blood of My sacrifices
Blood is a significant symbol throughout the Bible, representing life and atonement. In Hebrew, "dam" is the word for blood, and it is often associated with covenantal relationships. The phrase "My sacrifices" indicates ownership and sanctity, reminding the Israelites that these offerings are dedicated to God and must be treated with reverence. The blood of sacrifices is a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood would establish a new covenant.

with anything leavened
Leaven, or yeast, in Hebrew "seor," is often symbolic of sin and corruption due to its fermenting properties. The prohibition against mixing leaven with sacrifices highlights the need for purity and holiness in worship. This separation from leaven during sacrifices serves as a metaphor for the believer's call to live a life set apart from sin, reflecting God's holiness.

nor may the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover
The Passover is a pivotal event in Israel's history, commemorating their deliverance from Egyptian bondage. The Hebrew word for Passover is "Pesach," which means to pass over or spare. This feast is a profound reminder of God's salvation and protection. The sacrifice associated with Passover is not just a ritual but a celebration of God's faithfulness and a precursor to the salvation offered through Christ, the Lamb of God.

remain until morning
This instruction emphasizes the immediacy and completeness of the sacrificial act. In Hebrew culture, leaving the sacrifice until morning could imply neglect or irreverence. The command to consume the Passover sacrifice entirely before morning signifies the urgency of obedience and the totality of God's provision. It also points to the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, which is complete and needs no addition.
