2. the paschal lamb, i. e. the lamb which the Israelites were accustomed to slay and eat on the fourteenth day of the month Nisan (the first month of their year) in memory of that day on which their fathers, preparing to depart from Egypt, were bidden by God to slay and eat a lamb, and to sprinkle their door-posts with its blood, that the destroying angel, seeing the blood, might pass over their dwellings (Exodus 12; Numbers 9; Deuteronomy 16): θύειν τό πάσχα (הַפֶסַח שָׁחַט), φαγεῖν τό πάσχα, הָפֶסַח אָכַל, the paschal supper: ἑτοιμάζειν τό πάσχα, ποιεῖν τό πάσχα to celebrate the paschal meal, the paschal festival, the feast of Passover, extending from the fourteenth to the twentieth day of the month Nisan: πεποίηκε τό πάσχα he instituted the Passover (of Moses), Winer s Grammar, 272 (256); Buttmann, 197 (170)); γίνεται τό πάσχα the Passover is celebrated (R.
