Passover Meal Items:

Zeroa - Roasted Lamb Shank Bible Passage about the "LAMB": Exodus 12:3-7
"In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next
unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your
count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the
sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it
on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it."
How to cook and eat the lamb: "Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire;
his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof" Exodus 12:9
What to wear: "And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in
your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover" Exodus 12:11
Removal of Yeast: -- Christian Connection: "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new
lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us." 1 Corinthians 5:7
Maror or Horseradish --- the bitterness of the experience Exodus 12:8
"And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they
shall eat it." Exodus 12:22a & Hebrews 12:15 & James 3:14
Leftovers: "And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the
morning ye shall burn with fire" Exodus 12:10
Charoset - Chopped Nuts and Apples in Wine --- the building mortar used by the Hebrews in their forced
labor. In ancient times, if no apples were available figs and dates were used. (Exodus 1:14)
Roasted Egg --- Beitseh, a roasted egg, that recalls the Chagigah, the festival sacrifice offered in the
Temple on the three pilgrimage holidays of Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot. Deuteronomy 16:16
Karpas - the green herb or vegetable usually parsley ---
Matzah - a flat, unleavened --- Exodus 29:7 & Deuteronomy 16:3
Exodus 12:8 -- "And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with
bitter herbs they shall eat it." Arrange three matzahs on the table in front of the leader, ideally in a special
three-section matzah dish.
Wine --- Set out the wine. You'll need enough to serve four glasses to everyone present
Penalty for neglecting to observe --- Numbers 9:13 "But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and
forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought
not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin."
Salt Water --- symbolizes the blood of the first Passover lamb, also the tears shed by the Israelites slaves. We
also recall Israel's baptism in the Red Sea. (Exodus 14:22)
Horseradish --- Encarta says that "horseradish signifies the bitterness of the experience, and a mixture of
chopped nuts and apples in wine symbolizes the building mortar used by the Hebrews in their forced labor."
Items for the Table: Put at each guest's place the following: a haggadah (Passover prayer book), a wine glass,
matzah, maror, charoset, salt water, karpas and a hard-boiled egg.
Elijah's Cup: --- Set out a special goblet to be filled with wine for the prophet Elijah --- from Malachi
3:23: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the Prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Eternal.
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers..."
HAGGADAH: means "the Telling"
Seder: means "Order", as in order of service
