Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:2

Theological / Devotional

Sacrifice the passover. The Passover sacrificial animal was to be either a lamb or a kid of the goats (Ex. 12:5). Note that Ex. 12:3-6 prescribes a male animal of the first year, either a lamb or a kid, to be consumed at one meal. Later, a lamb was invariably chosen as the victim, rather than a goat.

The place. The sanctuary of the Lord was the place at which they were to slay the Passover, a command reiterated again and again (ch. 16:2, 6, 7; cf. vs. 11,15,16 for the other feasts).
