6 Each family must take care of its animal until the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, when the animals are to be killed.
7 Some of the blood must be put on the two doorposts and above the door of each house where the animals are to be eaten.
8 That night the animals are to be roasted and eaten, together with bitter herbs and thin bread made without yeast.
9 Don't eat the meat raw or boiled. The entire animal, including its head, legs, and insides, must be roasted.
10 Eat what you want that night, and the next morning burn whatever is left.
11 When you eat the meal, be dressed and ready to travel. Have your sandals on, carry your walking stick in your hand, and eat quickly. This is the Passover Festival in honour of me, your Lord.
12 That same night I will pass through Egypt and kill the firstborn son in every family and the firstborn male of all animals. I am the Lord, and I will punish the gods of Egypt.
