Theodoret of Cyrus: Passover Lamb was Type of

By faith he held the Passover and the pouring of blood so the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them (v.28): how would he, without faith, have believed that death would be prevented by the blood of a sheep? He recognized in advance the reality of the type, and had a premonition of the power of the Lord's blood.
