- Taylor explains Exodus 12:13 calls the blood a 'token' tying the physical sign to the larger reality of God's saving action.
Without Blemish Means No Physical Defect
- The Passover lamb's requirement 'without blemish' denotes no physical defect, not pristine whiteness.
- Mike Harris references Leviticus to clarify ancient sacrificial standards for a legitimate atoning lamb.
