The roasting of the Passover lambs in fire according to the ordinance, and the boiling of the holy offerings in pots and pans, indicates the culinary dimension of the festival and its careful execution according to detailed prescriptions. The reference to according to the ordinance emphasizes the Law's comprehensive specification of worship practices, including seemingly mundane details of food preparation. The mention of different cooking methods suggests that the feast involved careful preparation designed to honor both the festival's commemorative purpose and the requirements of ceremonial propriety. This verse demonstrates that God's instruction extends to concrete, practical dimensions of communal life.
