Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for פֶסַח (Pesach) in the Septuagint and the New Testament is πάσχα (G3957 • Pascha). This term is used in the New Testament to refer to the Passover festival and the Passover lamb, highlighting the continuity of the theme of deliverance and redemption from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Usage: The word פֶסַח (Pesach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the Passover festival, the Passover sacrifice, and the act of passing over or sparing, as seen in the narrative of the Exodus. Context: פֶסַח (Pesach) is a central term in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the context of the Exodus narrative. The Passover is instituted in Exodus 12, where God commands the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and mark their doorposts with its blood. This act serves as a sign for the Lord to "pass over" their homes during the final plague on Egypt, the death of the firstborn. The Passover thus symbolizes divine protection and deliverance. The festival of Passover is celebrated annually as a commemoration of this pivotal event in Israelite history. It involves the sacrifice of a lamb, the eating of unleavened bread, and the retelling of the Exodus story. The Passover is also linked to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which lasts seven days and begins on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. In the Hebrew Bible, the term פֶסַח (Pesach) appears in various contexts, including the initial institution of the Passover (Exodus 12:11, 21, 27, 43, 48), its observance in subsequent generations (Leviticus 23:5; Numbers 9:2-5; Deuteronomy 16:1-6), and its significance as a memorial of God's deliverance (Exodus 13:9). The Passover is not only a historical commemoration but also a theological symbol of redemption and covenant relationship between God and His people. It prefigures the ultimate deliverance through the Messiah, as seen in the New Testament.
