Theological / Devotional

At even. That is, between the two evenings (see on Ex. 12:6). The evening sacrifice having been offered, the Passover victim was slain.

The season. Literally, “the appointed time” or “the place of meeting.” Compare “in the time appointed” (Ex. 23:15); “in the time of’ (Ex. 34:18); “at a time appointed” (Joshua 8:14). The reference in this instance is to the appointed hour, namely, that of the Exodus from Egypt.
