1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
2 “This month will be the first month; it will be the first month of the year for you.
3 Tell the whole Israelite community: On the tenth day of this month they must take a lamb for each household, a lamb per house.
4 If a household is too small for a lamb, it should share one with a neighbor nearby. You should divide the lamb in proportion to the number of people who will be eating it.
