² This month is to be the beginning of your calendar. It is to be the first month of the year for you. ³ Tell the entire Israelite community that on the tenth day of this month, they are to take a lamb or a young goat ^[2] for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, one lamb per household. ⁴ But if the household is too small for a whole lamb, then that person and his neighbor next door to him must select one, based on the number of people. Determine what size lamb is needed according to how much each person will eat.

⁵ Your lamb must be unblemished, a year-old male. You may take it from the sheep or the goats. ⁶ You are to keep it until the fourteenth day of this month. Then the whole assembly of the Israelite community is to slaughter the lambs at sunset. ^{[3] 7} They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat the lamb. ⁸ That night they shall eat the meat that has been roasted over a fire, along with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs. ⁹ Do not eat it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over a fire—with its head, its legs, and its internal organs.
