5. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats.
6. And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
7. And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
8. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs shall they eat it.
9. Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
10. And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11. And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.
12. And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.
13. And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
