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.
15. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day--that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16. And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person--that only shall be done by you.
17. And ye shall keep the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations as an ordinance for ever.
18. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.
19. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened--that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.
