( b) 11 16. Firstborn males, both of man and beast, to belong to Jehovah. The firstling of an ass is to be either redeemed by a lamb or killed; the firstborn of men are also to be redeemed: other firstling were sacrificed to Jehovah. Like vv. 3 10, an older law of J ( v. 12f., cf. Exo 34:19 f.) in a parenetic setting. ‘The passage is related to v. 1f.

Heb. From days to days. But days in the Hebrew tongue are oft put for a complete year. Of which see Gen 4:3; Lev 25:29; Amo 4:4.

Thou shall therefore keep the ordinance in his season,…. Not the ordinance of the phylacteries, as the Targum of Jonathan, but the ordinance of unleavened bread:
from year to year; every year successively, so long as in force, even unto the coming of the Messiah. It is in the Hebrew text, “from days to days” c; that is, either year after year, as we understand it; or else the sense is, that the feast of unleavened bread, when the season was come for keeping it, was to be observed every day for seven days running.
c “a diebus in dies”, V. L. Montanus, Munster, Vatablus, Drusius.

“Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season front year to year” Exo 13:10 .
Memory needs to be vivified. We pursue this kind of practice in our own household life. The recurring birthday is a recurring joy. Every child in the family has its own method of celebrating its nativity. Great mercies should create their own anniversaries. It is well to sanctify our time by religious recollections and consecrations. There is no need to fall into superstition in this matter. We may be but sparing ourselves when we relax our religious discipline on the ground that religious observances may become superstitions. Every act of life is capable of debasement; but it does not therefore follow that life should be without action, and particularity of observance and ceremonial. The Church is a help to remembrance, so is the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper. We ourselves are at liberty to set up milestones by the road, and to set aside special days for the remembrance of particular acts of providential revelation and care. Every line in the diary should have in it something of God. There is a deep spiritual sense in which every day is a birthday, and every morning a new year. They use time well who find in it many new points of newness that is, chances of being better and opportunities of rendering wider service. By indicating a special day, God lays down a law rather than fixes a technical statute: the law being that days may be marked according to their position in what may be termed the religious calendar the diary of the soul.

Exo 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
Ver. 10. From year to year. ] The Chaldee hath it, From time to time. We have the Lord’s Supper, that sweet ordinance wherein Christ “kisseth us with the kisses of his lips,” and giveth us a privy seal of his love, much oftener: yet not so oft as the primitive Christians, who had it weekly: whence it was called Panis hebdomadarias. Yea, Basil tells us, that they ate the Lord’s Supper three or four times a week – viz., on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Lord’s-days: but that was a time of persecution.
