“And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.”
And they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the wilderness of Sinai — the brief confirmation that the wilderness Passover was indeed celebrated exactly one year after the exodus. The setting 'in the wilderness' underlines Israel's continued pilgrimage status: freedom has been won, but the promised land has not yet been entered. The Passover in the wilderness reorients Israel to its foundational deliverance while intensifying awareness of the journey ahead.
