1). It is literally when the LORD sees the blood on the door posts that He will pass over that house and not destroy the firstborn of the family, or families.

a). Exodus 12:12, 13 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

b). Exodus 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

2). World Outreach Church Daily Devotional 3/16/14 Exodus 12:8, 11 “And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord’s Passover.” God gave His people specific instructions about how to eat the Passover lamb. He said, “Put your belts on, put shoes on, and be ready to go.” (v. 11.) It’s significant that God didn’t say, “And thus shall ye eat it, with your loins girded and your wheelchairs, stretchers, crutches, and pills all ready to go. With all your aches and pains go forth.” Among the three million Israelites God was talking to, there had to be plenty who were too sick or old to travel. But the Lord told them all to eat and go! You see, God wasn’t satisfied with a partial redemption. He wanted His people to go out—and go out well. He wanted them set free from Egyptian bondage, and set free from the bondage of sickness. What happened when the Israelites applied the blood of the lamb? It spared them from judgment and set them free from bondage. What happened when the Israelites ate the lamb’s flesh? They went out healthy. That’s why the Passover lamb is a portrait of our full redemption in Christ. When Adam fell in the Garden of Eden, he fell spirit, soul, and body. When God redeemed man, He redeemed him spirit, soul, and body. Jesus died to make us completely whole.

3). Psalm 105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

4). Outside of the time previous to the Mosaic Covenant and the spiritual sacrifices of the new Covenant. This is the only sacrifice/offering that is offered by an individual.
