Hebrews 11

NET

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.


Darby

28 By faith he celebratedD9130 the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.


Darby Bible Notes

celebrated - Here and ver. 17, as to the offering up Isaac, the verbs are in the perfect; this is remarkable. The other facts are generally passing facts, part of the whole history; these are of standing significance, either figuratively setting the believer on a new ground, or viewed as continued till the time of the epistle. 'by faith Abraham has offered,' 'by faith he has celebrated;' only this is not possible in English. It was not external continuance, for the blood sprinkling was only once.


KJV

28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
