EXODUS 12:3-8

³Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for an household:

⁴and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.

⁵Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

⁶and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.

⁷And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.

⁸And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
