Exodus 12:2-10

2“1ThisH2088 monthH2320 shall be the beginningH7218 of monthsH2320 for you; it is to be the firstH7223 monthH2320 of the yearH8141 for you.

3SpeakH1696 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘On the tenthH6218 of thisH2088 monthH2320 they are, eachH376 oneH376, to takeH3947 a 2lambH7716 for themselves, according to the fathers’H1 householdsH1004, a 3lambH7716 for 4each householdH1004.

4Now ifH518 the householdH1004 isH4591 tooH4480 smallH4591 for a 5lambH7716, then he and his neighborH7934 nearestH7138 to his houseH1004 are to takeH3947 one according to the 6numberH4373 of personsH5315 in them; in proportionH6310 to 7what eachH376 oneH376 should eatH398, you are to 8divideH3699 the lambH7716.

5Your 9lambH7716 shall be 10an unblemishedH8549 maleH2145 a yearH8141 oldH1121; you may takeH3947 it from the sheepH3532 or from the goatsH5795.

611You shall keepH1961H4931 it untilH5704 the 12fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the sameH2088 monthH2320, then the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 is to slaughterH7819 it 1314at twilightH6153.

715Moreover, they shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 and putH5414 it on the twoH8147 doorpostsH4201 and on the lintelH4947 16of the housesH1004 in whichH834 they eatH398 it.

8They shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 17that same nightH3915, 18roastedH6748 with fireH784, and they shall eatH398 it with 19unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 2021and bitterH4844 herbsH4844.

9Do not eatH398 anyH4480 of it rawH4995 or boiledH1311 atH1310 allH1310 with waterH4325, but ratherH3588H518 22roastedH6748 with fireH784, both its headH7218 and its legsH3767 alongH5921 with 23its entrailsH7130.

1024And you shall not leaveH3498 anyH4480 of it overH3498 untilH5704 morningH1242, but whatever is leftH3498 of it untilH5704 morningH1242, you shall completelyH8313 burnH8313 with fireH784.
