Here Aaron and Moses called Israel\u2019s elderly people to inform them of the departure process from Egypt. They were to choose a lamb on the 10th day of the month, care for it till the 14th, and then sacrifice it &#8211; thereby resonating with the pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On that very night, they were to take the branches of hyssop, drench them in lamb blood, and paint their doorposts with it. As God moves over, he understands the pain of Israelis and the sins that they have committed. The sacrifice of the innocent lambs is only temporary until Jesus, the son of God, viewed as the Passover Lamb, will sacrifice himself to atone for the sins of mankind. Thus, hyssop, in this case, is a pathway to move towards better beginnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Leviticus_14_%E2%80%93\"><\/span><b>2.

Ultimately this stands for the belief that if &#8211; as humans we repent, then there\u2019s nothing that can stop God\u2019s mercy from reaching us.
