Exegeting Hebrews 1:1-2 from the Greek Text
The Greeks (Gentiles) want to see Jesus, sparking an astonishing message of Jesus about His upcoming death.
The lineage of Jesus
Moses continues instructing the elders of Israel how to observe the rites of the feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread. He informs them that these ritual practices are to be observed from each successive generation. They are to commemorate God’s great deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. He continues to give instructions on how non-Israelites (non-Jews) are to celebrate the Passover if they are believers in the God of Israel.
After instructing Moses on how the Israelites are to observe the Passover, God continues instructing Moses to tell them to observe an additional ritual immediately following – the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This was a seven day observance where no leavened bread was to be eaten under threat of divine judgment. It signified holy (sinless) living before God in response to His great deliverance (Passover).
