And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the Lord,.... Then he must become a proselyte of righteousness, and be circumcised, or otherwise be might not eat of the passover, Exo 12:48; Ben Gersom interprets this of the second passover, and of a proselyte that was not obliged to the first, he not being then a proselyte, but became one between the first and the second; and so Aben Ezra understands it of a second passover, though he observes, that some say the first is meant:
according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do; according to the several rites and ceremonies, whether of the first or second passover, that an Israelite was obliged to observe, the same a proselyte was to observe, and what they were has been already taken notice of:

13. Forbeareth to keep the passover — For sins of omission resulting from obstinate unbelief the wicked will be sentenced to everlasting punishment. See Mat_25:45-46; Joh_3:18; Joh_16:9.
Shall be cut off — It is not easy to determine the precise meaning of these words. The original terms are too strong for the idea of excommunication, and they legitimately imply capital punishment. This was done by the sentence of the judge when the crime is known, otherwise it is implied, say the Jewish writers, that he should fall by the hand of Jehovah cutting him off prematurely. See Lev_17:10, note. But several of the rabbinical writers, as Maimonides, interpret these words as signifying not only temporal but eternal death. The threatening is a severe one, and is designed to inspire the deepest reverence for the divine ordinances.

Shall bear his sin — The punishment of sin. Lev_10:17; Lev_22:9, notes. Dr. Hodge asserts that “when נשׂא, nasah, is construed with sin, it plainly means, ‘to bear sin’ in the sense of being personally responsible for it.” According to this, Jesus Christ was punished for our sins, a statement which we cannot receive. We prefer a broader signification of the phrase. (1.) One bears his own sin by suffering its punishment. (2.) He may bear another’s sin by suffering in consequence of it. (3.) He may bear another’s sin aimed against himself by withholding his displeasure and treating the offender graciously. See Lev_10:17, note. (4.) Or he may endure sufferings which are not penal, but a conditional substitute for the penal sufferings of guilty persons. Such were the sufferings of Christ in taking away the sin of the world. For an exhaustive discussion see Bibliotheca Sacra, 18:284, 30:422; 32:475; and Dr. Miley’s Atonement in Christ.

But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey. This threat was added no doubt in order to prevent men from taking advantage of the permission to keep a supplemental passover in order to suit their own convenience or interest. Only two reasons could absolve a man from the absolute necessity of keeping the passover at the due season, and these reasons must be bona fide, and not pretended. Because he brought not the offering of the Lord. In the original institution the paschal lamb did not appear distinctly in the character of an offering made to God, although undoubtedly it was such. It was rather the eating of the lamb that was insisted upon, as placing the partaker in communion with the God and Church of Israel, and so in a state of salvation. But after the law of sacrifices had been elaborated, then the paschal lamb, though prior to them all, naturally took its place amongst them as the greatest of them all, and as uniting in itself the special beauties of all.
