Exodus 12:2-8

CAB(i) 2 This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you among the months of the year. 3 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let each man take for himself a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household. 4 And if there be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbor that lives near to him, as to the number of persons, everyone according to each man's need you shall make a reckoning for the lamb. 5 It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old. You shall take it from the lambs or from the goats. 6 And it shall be kept by you till the fourteenth of this month, and all the multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it toward evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two doorposts, and on the lintel, in the houses wherever they shall eat them. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in this night roasted with fire, and they shall eat unleavened bread with bitter herbs.
