Points 8-12: (8) Lamb substituted for the firstborn — Jesus is God's firstborn/only-begotten (John 3:16, Col 1:15, Heb 1:6). (9) No bones broken — Exodus 12:46, fulfilled in John 19:33-36 when soldiers didn't break Jesus's legs. (10) Offered for the household/family — Jesus creates a new family of God (John 1:12). (11) Lamb had to be slain/die — the death was required, not optional; Jesus said he MUST be killed (Mark 8:31). (12) Had to be at Jerusalem — Deuteronomy 16:5-6; Jesus crucified in Jerusalem.
Points 8-12 — firstborn, bones, household, death, location
Colossians 1:15: firstborn of all creation. John 19:33-36: soldiers broke legs of the two thieves but not Jesus's — "that the Scripture might be fulfilled: not one of his bones will be broken." Crurifragium (breaking legs) hastened death by preventing the victim from pushing up to exhale. John 1:12: to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. Mark 8:31: the Son of Man MUST suffer and be killed. Deuteronomy 16:5-6: Passover only at the place God chooses (Jerusalem).
