By this time the library assistant is well known in the neighborhood, and unlike the collector and the curious social uplifter who are often treated with sullenness and defiance, she receives every consideration and assistance. Now at Yom Kipper, Rosh Hashana, Pasach and other holidays, we are invited to break matzos and eat rare native dishes with the families of the children.
In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel. The sons of Asher; Imnah, and Isuah, and Ishuai, and Beriah, and Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel, who is the father of Birzavith. And Heber begat Japhlet, and Shomer, and Hotham, and Shua their sister. And the sons of Japhlet; Pasach, and Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the children of Japhlet.
In every house a he-lamb was to be slain, and its blood to be sprinkled on the doorposts of the house. Then the Lord would pass over and not smite that house. The Hebrew word is pasach, to pass. The lamb slain was called the Paschal Lamb. But what was that lamb? This was the Lamb of God which was slain each year, and "Slain since the foundation of the world."
The sacrifice of the Lamb, and its blood, were to be the promise of redemption. The door-frames of the houses symbols of the entrance into a new life were to be sprinkled with blood. Later, the imagery of the saving power of the blood of the Lamb became more popular, more highly colored. It is said that pasach sometimes means not so much to pass over, as to hover over and so protect.
