And the children of Israel went away,.... The elders of the people, Exodus 12:21 they departed to their several tribes and families at Goshen and elsewhere:
and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they; they took a lamb on the tenth day, and kept it till the fourteenth, on which day they slew it, and roasted it with fire, and ate it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

They then proceeded to execute the command, that through the obedience of faith they might appropriate the blessing of this "service."
