Exodus 12:2-8

LEB(i) 2 "This month will be the beginning of months; it will be for you the first of the months of the year. 3 Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family,* a lamb for the household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, he and the neighbor nearest to his house will take one according to the number of persons;* you will count out portions of the lamb according to how much each one can eat.* 5 The lamb for you must be a male, without defect, in its first year; you will take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 "You will keep it* until the fourteenth day of this month, and all the assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter it at twilight.* 7 And they will take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel on the houses in which they eat it. 8 And they will eat the meat on this night; they will eat it fire-roasted and with unleavened bread on bitter herbs.*
