Here, we see some restrictions on celebrating Passover. Although these restrictions originated during Egypt’s departure, they quickly reveal that they belong to a different era when Israel was already in the land of Canaan, where it coexisted temporarily or permanently with foreigners and slaves. Throughout Israel’s development of conscience, respect for life becomes a fundamental principle. Israel linked this respect with God’s will, who commanded that every firstborn must be saved. In Canaan, Israel coexisted with other cultures and diverse religious practices, where sacrificing human firstborns was common. However, Israel opposed this practice and suggested the alternative of ransoming people, as instructed by the Lord Himself, since all life belongs to Him.
