Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 16:5-6.


Deuteronomy 16:6

_ _ at the season — that is, the month and day, though not perhaps the precise hour. The immense number of victims that had to be immolated on the eve of the passover — that is, within a space of four hours — has appeared to some writers a great difficulty. But the large number of officiating priests, their dexterity and skill in the preparation of the sacrifices, the wide range of the court, the extraordinary dimensions of the altar of burnt offering and orderly method of conducting the solemn ceremonial, rendered it easy to do that in a few hours, which would otherwise have required as many days.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 16:1-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 16:6

There — Namely, in the court of the tabernacle or temple. This he prescribed, partly that this great work might be done with more solemnity in such manner as God required; partly, because it was not only a sacrament, but also a sacrifice, and because here was the sprinkling of blood, which is the essential part of a sacrifice; and partly to design the place where Christ, the true passover or lamb of God, was to be slain. At the season — About the time you were preparing yourselves for it.
