COMMENTS

*1 The same phrase
*2 So the ALIGNMENT sheds light on MEANING. The phrase
ACCORDING TO LAW means that the converts must 1st CIRCUMCISE
(See *10 for further details)

LONGER FOOTNOTES
|
*10 Actually the phrase ACCORDING TO LAW implies more---for
the whole chapter deals with the fact that those who
observe the MAKEUP Passover (Passover 2) must follow ALL
Passover laws.
Hence BECAUSE OF CONTEXT, we infer from the phrase
ACCORDING TO LAW that
-- the converts must first circumcise
-- ALL Passover laws must be followed by converts
