Exodus 12:1-8

Exodus 12:1-8

[1] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses  and Aaron  in the land  of Egypt,  saying,  [2] This month  shall be unto you the beginning  of months:  it shall be the first  month  of the year  to you. [3] Speak  ye unto all the congregation  of Israel,  saying,  In the tenth  day of this month  they shall take  to them every man  a lamb,  according to the house  of their fathers,  a lamb  for an house:  [4] And if the household  be  too little  for the lamb,  let him and his neighbour  next  unto his house  take  it according to the number  of the souls;  every man  according  to his eating  shall make your count  for the lamb.  [5] Your lamb  shall be without blemish,  a male  of the first  year:  ye shall take  it out from the sheep,  or from the goats:  [6] And ye shall keep  it up until the fourteenth  day  of the same month:  and the whole  assembly  of the congregation  of Israel  shall kill  it in  the evening.  [7] And they shall take  of the blood,  and strike  it on the two  side posts  and on the upper door post  of the houses,  wherein they shall eat  it. [8] And they shall eat  the flesh  in that night,  roast  with fire,  and unleavened bread;  and with bitter  herbs they shall eat
