KORBAN PESACH

1) Name -

Why is the Korban called 'Pesach'?

2) Type of animal -

Why is specifically a Seh (a lamb or kid-goat) the animal used for the Korban Pesach?

3) No breaking bones -

Why is it prohibited to break any bone of the Korban Pesach?

4) Roasting -

Why must the Korban Pesach be eaten roasted, rather than cooked?

5) ואת בתינו הציל -

Why, in the first Korban Pesach brought in Egypt, did Bnei Yisrael sign up for the offering by family-units?

6) Converts -

The Torah emphasizes that a Ger (convert) must bring a Korban Pesach, just like an Ezrach (Shemos 12:48). Why is this so? His ancestors experienced neither the slavery, nor the subsequent Redemption!

7) Theme -

How do the various laws of Korban Pesach express its theme - Hashem's Oneness, and his selection of Am Yisrael as a singular nation?

1. Mafteach to Shemos 12:3:6.3:1, also see footnote 2

8) ויקד העם וישתחוו -

Why did the people bow in thanks to Hashem upon hearing this?
