Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Exodus 12:18

In the first month. — The Hebrew omits “month” by a not unusual ellipse. (Comp. Ezekiel 1:1.)

At even. — The evening intended is not that with which the fourteenth day began, but that with which it closed, the end of the fourteenth and beginning of the fifteenth day. (See Leviticus 23:5.)
