Exodus 12:2-13

2“ThisH2088 monthH2320 is the beginningH7218 of monthsH2320 for you; itH1931 shall be the firstH7223 monthH2320 of your yearH8141.

3TellH1696H413 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478H559 that on the tenthH6218 day of thisH2088 monthH2320 each manH376 must selectH3947 a lambH77161 for his familyH1H1004, oneH7716 per householdH1004. 4IfH518 the householdH1004H1961 is too smallH4591 for a whole lambH7716, they are toH1931 share withH3947 the nearestH7138 neighborH7934H413H1004 based on the numberH4373 of peopleH5315, and apportionH3699H5921 the lambH7716 accordinglyH376.

5Your lambH7716 must beH1961 an unblemishedH8549 year-oldH1121H8141 maleH2145, and you may takeH3947 it fromH4480 the sheepH3532H4480 or the goatsH5795. 6You mustH1961 keepH4931 it untilH5704 the fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of theH2088 monthH2320, when the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 will slaughterH7819 the animals atH996 twilightH6153.2 7They are to takeH3947 some ofH4480 the bloodH1818 and putH5414 it onH5921 the sidesH8147H4201 andH5921 tops of the doorframesH49473 ofH5921 the housesH1004 whereH834 they eatH398 the lambs.

8They are to eatH398 the meatH1320 thatH2088 nightH3915, roastedH6748 over the fireH784, along with unleavened breadH4682H5921 and bitter herbsH4844.

9Do notH408 eatH398 any ofH4480 the meat rawH4995 or cookedH1310 in boilingH1311 waterH4325, but onlyH3588H518 roastedH6748 over the fireH784—its headH7218 andH5921 legsH3767H5921 and inner partsH7130. 10Do notH3808 leaveH3498 any of itH4480 untilH5704 morningH1242; beforeH5704 the morningH1242 you must burn upH784H8313 any partH4480 that is left overH3498.

11This is howH3602 you are to eat itH398: You must be fully dressed for travelH4975H2296,4 with your sandalsH5275 on your feetH7272 and your staffH4731 in your handH3027. You are to eatH398 in hasteH2649; itH1931 is the LORD’sH3068 PassoverH6453.

12On thatH2088 nightH3915 I will passH5674 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and strike downH5221 everyH3605 firstborn maleH1060, both manH120 andH5704 beastH929, and I will executeH6213 judgmentH8201 against allH3605 the godsH430 of EgyptH4714. IH589 am the LORDH3068. 13The bloodH1818 onH5921 the housesH1004 whereH834 youH859 are stayingH8033 will beH1961 a signH226; when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818, I will passH6452 over youH5921. NoH3808 plagueH5063 will fallH1961 on you to destroy youH4889 when I strikeH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
