Exodus 12:3-8

3Announce to the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each family must choose a lamb or a young goat for a sacrifice, one animal for each household.

4If a family is too small to eat a whole animal, let them share with another family in the neighborhood. Divide the animal according to the size of each family and how much they can eat.

5The animal you select must be a one-year-old male, either a sheep or a goat, with no defects.

6“Take special care of this chosen animal until the evening of the fourteenth day of this first month. Then the whole assembly of the community of Israel must slaughter their lamb or young goat at twilight.

7They are to take some of the blood and smear it on the sides and top of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the animal.

8That same night they must roast the meat over a fire and eat it along with bitter salad greens and bread made without yeast.
