Exodus 12:2-8 This month, is, to you, a beginning of months,––the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ² This month, is, to you, a beginning of months,––the first, it is, to you, of the months of the year. ³ Speak ye unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month, then let them take to them, each man a lamb for his ancestral household, a lamb for a household. ⁴ But, if the household be too small for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour that is near unto his house take [one], according to the number of souls,––each man according to his eating, shall ye number for the lamb. ⁵ A lamb without defect, a male a year old, shall yours be,––from the sheep, or from the goats, shall ye take it. ⁶ So shall it be yours, to keep, until the fourteenth day of this month,––then shall all the convocation of the assembly of Israel slay it, between the two evenings. ⁷ And they shall take of the blood, and put upon the two door–posts, and upon the upper–beam,––upon the houses wherein they are to eat it. ⁸ Then shall they eat the flesh, in the same night,––roast with fire, and with unleavened cakes, with bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
