What does Exodus 12:25 mean?

When God called Abraham—then named Abram (Genesis 12:1–3)—the call included a guarantee of specific territory intended for Abraham's descendants (Genesis 15:7). The Lord predicted that future generations would be trapped in a foreign land for centuries (Genesis 15:13–14). Before Joseph, Abraham's great-grandson (Genesis 21:3; 25:26; 37:3), died in Egypt, he made his family promise to carry his bones into this Promised Land (Genesis 50:25). This land inheritance to Abraham's descendants is the same promise about which Moses is speaking here.

A prominent fulfillment of this prophecy will occur prior to the battle of Jericho (Joshua 5:11). While in the very Promised Land they were seeking, Israel celebrated the Passover. Other mentions of Passover celebrations are seen in the Old Testament (2 Kings 23; 2 Chronicles 30; 35; Ezra 6:19–20; Ezekiel 45:21). Jesus and His disciples also participated in Passover (Luke 22:15). It was a Passover evening when Jesus was arrested, later to die as a sacrifice for all who believe (1 Corinthians 5:7).
