The instruction to not leave any of the Passover lamb until morning and to burn any leftovers underscores the sacredness and urgency of the Passover meal. This meal was not just a regular meal but a significant act of faith and obedience, marking the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. By consuming the lamb entirely, the Israelites demonstrated their readiness to follow God's command and their trust in His promise of deliverance. Burning any leftovers ensured that the meal was treated with reverence and that nothing was left to decay or be misused, symbolizing the completeness and sufficiency of God's provision. This practice also highlighted the seriousness of the covenant relationship between God and His people, as they were to remember this act of deliverance for generations to come. The Passover became a profound reminder of God's faithfulness and the need for His people to be prepared and obedient, trusting in His timing and provision.
Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it.
