7917. 'And slaughter the Passover' means preparation for the Lord's presence, and consequent deliverance. This is clear from the meaning of 'slaughtering' as preparation, as above in 7843; and from the meaning of 'the Passover' as the Lord's presence, and the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church.
