3. Speak to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, and say to them: On the tenth day of this month, let everyone take a lamb, by their families and houses.
4. But if the number is less than may suffice to be able to consume the lamb, he shall accept his neighbor, who has been joined with his house according to the number of souls that may suffice to be able to eat the lamb.
5. And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a one year old male. According to this rite, you shall also take a young goat.
6. And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month. And the entire multitude of the sons of Israel shall immolate it toward evening.
7. And they shall take from its blood, and place it on both the door posts and the upper threshold of the houses, in which they will consume it.
8. And that night they shall eat the flesh, roasted by fire, and unleavened bread with wild lettuce.
