Exodus 12-13

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage.(Which I read this morning, even though I didn't get this entry logged until now)
In recounting the story of Passover Moses adds details about who is acceptable as the table. In chapter 12:43-49 God's gives the neccessary details:
   No one unwilling to conform to God's standard is acceptable.
   A life-long slave who is owned AND sealed with the covenant of Abraham may eat. A rebellious slave or temporary endentured servant is not welcome.
   No one who is passing by, or who only has a curiosity about God's law can share in this meal.
These are nearly identical guidelines to describe the depths of the family of God that is the Church.
