Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:2

_ _ Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover — not the paschal lamb, which was strictly and properly the passover. The whole solemnity is here meant, as is evident from the mention of the additional victims that required to be offered on the subsequent days of the feast (Numbers 28:18, Numbers 28:19; 2 Chronicles 35:8, 2 Chronicles 35:9), and from the allusion to the continued use of unleavened bread for seven days, whereas the passover itself was to be eaten at once. The words before us are equivalent to “thou shalt observe the feast of the passover.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 16:1-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 16:2

The passover — That is, the feast of the passover, and so the place may be rendered, thou shalt therefore observe the feast of the passover unto the Lord thy God, with sheep, and with oxen, as is prescribed, Numbers 28:18, &c.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Deuteronomy 16:2
