Context of Exodus 12:5
3Speak ye to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 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: 4And if the household shall be too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

Commentaries on Exodus 12:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Without blemish - Having no natural imperfection, no disease, no deficiency or redundancy of parts. On this point the rabbins have trifled most egregiously, reckoning fifty blemishes that render a lamb or kid, or any animal, improper to be sacrificed: five in the ear, three in the eyelid, eight in the eye, three in the nose, six in the mouth, etc., etc. A male of the first year - That is, any age in the first year between eight days and twelve months…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Without blemish - This is in accordance with the general rule (margin reference): although in this case there is a special reason, since the lamb was in place of the firstborn male in each household. The restriction to the first year is unique, and refers apparently to the condition of perfect innocence in the antitype, the Lamb of God.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5unblemished: We must give God our best, just as he gave us his best: “Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot” (1 Peter 1:19).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. lamb ... without blemish--The smallest deformity or defect made a lamb unfit for sacrifice--a type of Christ (He 7:26; 1Pe 1:19). a male of the first year--Christ in the prime of life.Read the comment
