Exodus 12:3-8

³Speak with all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb for the house of a father, a lamb for the house.

⁴And if the house be smaller than the numbering (required) for the lamb, let him take himself, and his neighbour who is nearest to his house, according to the number of the souls, every man according to the mouth of his eating shall you count over the lamb.

⁵The lamb shall be perfect, a male, the son of a year; it shall be to you; from the sheep or from the goats you may take it.

⁶And you shall have it in keeping till the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole church (kehala) of the congregation of Israel shall kill him between the suns.

⁷And they shall take of the blood, and apply it upon the two posts and upon the lintel of the houses in which they eat him.

⁸And they shall eat the flesh in that night roasted with fire, and (with) unleavened cake with bitters you shall eat him.
