The sacrifice and the eating as roast
And all the multitude of the sons of Israel shall slaughter him toward evening. And "all multitude" (Exodus 12:6) is of the sons of a human being who sees God — that is, of God's power. Toward evening: toward the ends of the ages (1 Corinthians 10:11) (Genesis 32:28).
Greek
Σφάξουσιν δὲ αὐτὸν πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος υ(ἱ)ῶν Ἰ(σρα)ὴλ πρὸς ἑσπέραν· πᾶν δὲ πλῆθος υ(ἱ)ῶν ἀν(θρώπ)ου ὁρῶντος θ(εό)ν, τοῦτ' ἔστιν δυνάμεως θ(εο)ῦ· πρὸς ἑσπέραν, πρὸς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων.
