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.
5 Your lamb should be a flawless year-old male. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6 You should keep close watch over it until the fourteenth day of this month. At twilight on that day, the whole assembled Israelite community should slaughter their lambs.
7 They should take some of the blood and smear it on the two doorposts and on the beam over the door of the houses in which they are eating.
8 That same night they should eat the meat roasted over the fire. They should eat it along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9 Don’t eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over fire with its head, legs, and internal organs.
