Tell them that on the tenth day of this month each man must get a lamb from his flock. A lamb should be chosen for each family and home.Suppose there are not enough people in your family to eat a whole lamb. Then you must share some of it with your nearest neighbor. You must add up the total number of people there are. You must decide how much lamb is needed for each person.The animals you choose must be males that are a year old. They must not have any flaws. You may choose either sheep or goats.Take care of them until the 14th day of the month. Then the whole community of Israel must kill them when the sun goes down.Take some of the blood. Put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where you eat the lambs.That same night eat the meat cooked over a fire. Also eat bitter plants. And eat bread made without yeast.Do not eat the meat when it is raw. Don’t boil it in water. Instead, cook it over a fire. Cook the head, legs and inside parts.Do not leave any of it until morning. If some is left over until morning, burn it up.Eat the meat while your coat is tucked into your belt. Put your sandals on your feet. Take your walking stick in your hand. Eat the food quickly. It is the Lord’ s Passover.
