The Passover Lamb

1 Now the LORD° said° to Moses° and Aaron° in the land° of IEgypt°, 2aThis° month° shall be the beginning° of months° for you; it is to be the first° month° of the year° to you. 3 Speak° to all° the congregation° of Israel°, saying°, ‘On the tenth° of this° month° they are each° one° to take° a Ilamb° for themselves, according to their fathers’° households°, a Ilamb° for IIeach household°. 4 Now if° the household° is too° small° for a Ilamb°, then he and his neighbor° nearest° to his house° are to take° one according to the IInumber° of persons° [in them]; according° to IIIwhat each° man° should eat°, you are to IVdivide° the lamb°. 5 Your Ilamb° shall be aan unblemished° male° a year° old°; you may take° it from the sheep° or from the goats°. 6 IYou shall keep°° it until° the afourteenth°° day° of the same° month°, then the whole° assembly° of the congregation° of Israel° is to kill° it IIbat twilight°. 7 aMoreover, they shall take° some° of the blood° and put° it on the two° doorposts° and on the lintel° Iof the houses° in which° they eat° it. 8 They shall eat° the flesh° athat [same] night°, broasted° with fire°, and they shall eat° it with cunleavened° bread° Idand bitter° herbs°. 9 Do not eat° any° of it raw° or boiled° at all° with water°, but rather°° aroasted° with fire°, [both] its head° and its legs° along° with bits entrails°. 10 aAnd you shall not leave° any° of it over° until° morning°, but whatever is left° of it until° morning°, you shall burn° with fire°. 11 Now you shall eat° it in this° manner°: [with] your loins° girded°, your sandals° on your feet°, and your staff° in your hand°; and you shall eat° it in haste°—it is athe LORDS° Passover°. 12 For aI will go° through° the land° of Egypt° on that night°, and will strike° down° all° the firstborn° in the land° of Egypt°, both° man° and beast°; and bagainst all° the gods° of Egypt° I will execute° judgments°cI am the LORD°. 13 aThe blood° shall be a sign° for you on the houses° where°° you Ilive; and when I see° the blood° I will pass° over° you, and no° plague° will befall° you IIto destroy° [you] when I strike° the land° of Egypt°.
