Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - In this self-same day. The 15th of Abib - the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. Have I brought your hosts out. This expression seems to prove that we have in the injunctions of verses 14-20, not the exact words of the revelation on the subject made by God to Moses before the institution of the Passover, but a re-casting of the words after the exodus had taken place. Otherwise, the expression must have been, "I will bring your hosts out." As an ordinance for ever. Easter eve, the day on which Satan was despoiled by the preaching of Jesus to the spirits in prison (1 Peter 3:19), and on which the Church first realises its deliverance from the bondage of sin by the Atonement of Good Friday, is the Christian continuance of the first day of unleavened bread, and so answers to this text, as Good Friday to the similar command in ver. 14.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) In this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt.--On the application of the word "armies" to the people of Israel, see above (Exodus 6:26). The expression "have I brought" indicates either that these directions were not given until after the Exodus, or at any rate that they were not reduced to writing until then.
