9 Don’t eat any of it raw or boiled but roast the whole animal over a fire.
10 Don’t leave any of it until morning. Anything left over in the morning must be burned up.
11 This is how ⌊you should be dressed when⌋ you eat it: with your belt on, your sandals on your feet, and your shepherd’s staff in your hand. You must eat it in a hurry. It is the Lord’s Passover.
12 “On that same night I will go throughout Egypt and kill every firstborn male, both human and animal. I will severely punish all the gods of Egypt, ⌊because⌋ I am the Lord.

14 “This day will be one for you to remember. This is a permanent law for generations to come: You will celebrate this day as a pilgrimage festival in the Lord’s honor.
