7882. 'You shall keep it as a feast to Jehovah' means worship of the Lord because of deliverance from damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'keeping a feast to Jehovah' as worship of the Lord, in particular because of deliverance from damnation, this being why that day is a feast day. The fact that the Passover was instituted because of the deliverance by the Lord of those who belonged to the spiritual Church, see 7867.
