Exodus 12:4-8 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. If his family is too small to eat a whole animal, he and his next-door neighbour may share an animal, in proportion to the number of people and the amount that each person can eat.

5. You may choose either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a one-year-old male without any defects.

6. Then, on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, the whole community of Israel will kill the animals.

7. The people are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorposts and above the doors of the houses in which the animals are to be eaten.

8. That night the meat is to be roasted, and eaten with bitter herbs and with bread made without yeast.
