7866. 'And you shall eat it in haste' means their feeling in their state of separation. This is clear from the meaning of 'haste' as a feeling, since haste is the expression of a feeling, dealt with in 7695. Here it is their feeling in their state of separation, for they had been separated from the molesters, who are meant by 'the Egyptians'.
