1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
2 “This month will be the first month of the year for you.
3 Both of you are to tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth day of this month each man must get one lamb. It is for the people in his house.
4 There may not be enough people in his house to eat a whole lamb. Then he must share it with his closest neighbor. There must be enough lamb for everyone to eat.
