The instruction to slaughter the Passover lambs and to consecrate oneself as required by the Law indicates that the Passover observance was conducted with meticulous attention to the regulations prescribed in Deuteronomy and Exodus. The reference to sanctification emphasizes that participation in Passover required ritual purity and spiritual readiness, not mere formal participation. The priesthood's responsibility to oversee the slaughtering ensures that the sacrifice was performed with proper reverence and according to proper procedure. This verse emphasizes that authentic worship requires both external compliance with prescribed forms and internal spiritual preparation.
