Exodus 12:43-49
43 YHWH said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it, 44 but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. 45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it. 46 It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to YHWH, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.” Exodus 12:43-49WEB
Classification
The Command
This passage contains a mix of positive and negative commands, directed toward Israel, explaining who may eat the Passover.
Categories
These commands are part of the Typological/Ceremonial Law inasmuch as they pertain directly to participation in the Passover, but they also have some bearing on the Civil/Judicial Law because they relate to the legal distinction between native Jews and foreigners.
These commands fit in with the laws pertaining to Jew/Gentile Distinction and Sacrificial Regulations.
These commands contribute to an understanding of Feasts, Holidays, and Sacrifices (especially the Topic: Passover), and to the status of Foreigners in Israel, and to the Circumcision.
Fulfillment
The command to observe the Passover has its ultimate fulfillment in the final Passover Lamb, Jesus (See 1 Cor 5:7). His Passover meal is remembered by the Sacrament of Communion.
The requirement that foreigners who desire to participate in the Passover be circumcised is now carried out by requiring that those who participate in the salvation afforded by our Final Passover, Jesus, to be circumcised in heart, which is to say that they should believe in Jesus and have a heart which is submitted to Him as Lord and softened by repentance. (See Deut 10:16, 30:6, Jer 4:4, Acts 7:51, Phil 3:3, Col 2:11, and contexts).
