Exodus [Departure] 12:3-8

³Speak to all the congregation of Israel God prevails, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;

⁴and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.

⁵Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

⁶and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel God prevails shall kill it at evening.

⁷They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

⁸They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, and matzah ·unleavened bread·. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
