Mental sacrifices leading to convictions and renewal of thought processes. The entire mental process, the Feast requirements, are centered upon Yahweh’s will for strategic purposes only He and His Son fully comprehend. Each step is to be followed that mental renewal would be the determined outcome. At verse 11 we see the “how” as to the digesting (mentally of course) of food. “And in this way you shall eat (consciously consume) it; with a belt (“gird, restrain”; focus; #2296) on your waist (“be slender”; refined; #4975), and your staff (“germinate, shoot”; mental direction; #4731) in your hand (conscious grasp). Eat (mentally consume) in haste (“hasty, plight, fear”; reverence; #2649); it is Yahweh’s Passover (forgiveness over the minds of chosen souls, “passed over” and not condemned).” Focused, refined, directly consuming those things commanded in order to receive and understand the will of Yahweh; and this in reference to your own state of mental being. And what is it within a soul or for some, the totality of their souls, that shall not be “passed over”? Why the land (thought plain) of Egypt (“limit, siege”; the material conscience believing in intellect apart from Yahweh; #4714) of course, and this at night (“mental dullness”): “I [YahwEth]…will strike down (consciously remove) all of the firstborn (most powerful thoughts borne forth from the carnal 05- will)…both men (controlled thoughts) and animals (unruly thoughts), and I will execute judgment on the might (mental strength) of Egypt (human intellect). I, Yahweh.” (vs.13) As stated, for the chosen it is a protective covering of mental status while dealing with the carnality within (soon to be expressed through the “sacrifices” commanded at each Feast), while for the foreigner (strange minds not given unto Yahweh) it is a condemning of their entire mental being; they are not given to obey the commanded Feasts. “And the blood (stricken carnal life force) will be a sign (mental banner) for you on (consciously “over”) the houses (mental home) where you are.

And when I see the blood (the shedding of carnal life force within), I will pass (declare as consciously “innocent”) over you; and the plague (infliction, gore, defeat”; giving over to mental deprivation; #5063) shall not be upon you to destroy (consciously condemn) you, when I strike the land of Egypt.”

(vs.13) An internal removal of carnality for some, a giving over unto it for others. A mandated and specific “appointment” for both the “festive” conscience being redeemed, and the conscience that has become a “victim” to its own desires.

Yahweh tells us that, “This day (mental illumination) shall be to you [chosen mind] for a memorial (“memento, mark”; mental reminder: #2146) and you shall keep (consciously uphold) it as
a Feast (solemn assembly united to the will of Yahweh) to Yahweh throughout your generations (perpetuating thoughts).
