Exodus 12:2-14

VIN(i) 2 Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year. 3 "Tell the whole community of Israel: ‘On the tenth day of this month each man must take a sheep for his family, one animal per household. 4 If a household is too small for a lamb, then it and its closest neighbor are to obtain one based on the number of individuals {— } dividing the lamb based on what each person can eat. 5 Your lamb is to be a year old male without blemish. You may 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 They're to take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat the lamb. 8 That very night they're to eat the meat, roasted over the fire, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 9 Don't eat any of it raw or boiled in water. Instead, roast it over the fire, with its head, legs, and internal organs. 10 And you must not leave any of it until morning; anything left from it until morning you must burn in the fire. 11 "'This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it hurriedly it's the LORD's Passover. 12 For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord. 13 "The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you live. When I see the blood I will pass over you. No plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be for a memorial to you; and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord in your generations, with an everlasting observance.
