Exodus 12:8

roast with fire--for the sake of expedition; and this difference was always observed between the cooking of the paschal lamb and the other offerings (2 Chronicles 35:13).

unleavened bread--also for the sake of despatch (Deuteronomy 16:3), but as a kind of corruption (Luke 12:1) there seems to have been a typical meaning under it (1 Corinthians 5:8).

bitter herbs--literally, "bitters"--to remind the Israelites of their affliction in Egypt, and morally of the trials to which God's people are subject on account of sin.
