- passing:
- Or rather, as Bp. Lowth renders, "leaping forward," pasoacḣ As the mother bird spreads her wings to cover her young, throws herself before them, and opposes the rapacious bird that assaults them; so shall Jehovah protect, as with a shield, Jerusalem from the enemy, protecting and delivering, springing forward and rescuing her. "That ye shall say,ª° It¹ [is] the sacrificeª of the LORD'Sª passover,ª who¹ passedª° over¹ the housesª of the childrenª of Israelª in Egypt,ª when he smoteª°¹ the Egyptians,ª and deliveredª° our houses.ª And the peopleª bowed the headª° and worshipped.ª°" {Exd 12:27}
