Exodus 12:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family,^[a] a lamb for the household. ⁴ And if the household is too small for a lamb, he and the neighbor nearest to his house will take one according to the number of persons;^[b] you will count out portions of the lamb according to how much each one can eat.^{[c] 5} The lamb for you must be a male, without defect, in its first year; you will take it from the sheep or from the goats.
