Andrew G. Roth:
Exodus 12:21-51
ABAR (12:23) = pass through (ָע ַבר ), from where the word "Hebrew" (one who crosses over into obedience to YHWH) is derived.PASACH (12:23) = pass over (ָפ ַסח ) –the action of YHWH "passing over" to judge Egypt is where PESACH comes from.
PATHACH (12:23) = door (ָפ ַסח ), is a synonym to DALET, which also means "door" and the letter looks like a door (ד)! The extra repetition of "door" as in "pass over the door" when the doorposts are already mentioned, is a hint. When you take "YHWH" and put the DOOR in between, you get YEHUDAH (Judah)! Y’shua said, "I am the DOOR"!
