Exodus 12:43-47
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover:
"No foreigner is to eat of it. Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him, but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it.
"It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
New International Version
No foreigner is to eat of it.
This day is only for those who are willing walk in covenant with God, it has no significance for anyone else. If you are not willing to be included in His household, superficial compliance is of no value in saving you.
"It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.
Not one of Jesus bones were broken through all the brutality and torture of His excecution on the cross. Bones speak of structure, and integrity. There was and is nothing broken or divided in the Kingdom of God. Even though there are many covenants given by God, they all agree and confirm one another. There is no disagreement or nulifying of anything in the Old Covenant for the New. The Word of God has complete and utter integrity. Creation itself is held together by the integrity of His Word. Jesus is the word made flesh, and the Lamb of God given to take away the Sin of the world. His integrity is beyond all measure of scrutiny and not one of His bones were broken. Freely He offered His life, it was not taken, he was not crucified by any other power or authority than His own Love and willingness to do the will of the Father. Nothing between them was broken.
