2 This month shall he to you the beginning of months. It is the first for you among the months of the year.
3 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel and say, On the tenth of this month let them take every one a sheep according to the houses of patriarchal families, every one a sheep for a family;
4 and if there be too few in the family to be sufficient for one sheep, let him associate with him his next neighbour. With regard to the number of souls, every one shall collect to him a number sufficient for a sheep.
5 Your sheep shall be without blemish, a male and in its first year. You may take either from the lambs or the kids.
6 And it shall be kept up by you until the fourteenth day of this month. Then the whole multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the lintel of the door of the house in which they are to eat it.
8 And that night they shall eat the flesh roasted with fire. They shall also eat unleavened bread with bitter herbs.
9 You shall not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but only roasted with fire, head and feet and carcase together.
10 Nothing of it shall be left till the morning. And you shall not break a bone of it. And what is left of it till the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 And in this manner you shall eat it. Your loins shall be girded. Your sandals shall be on your feet, and your staves in your hands. And you shall eat it in haste. It is a passover to the Lord.
