⁵ The animal you select must be a one-year-old male, either a sheep or a goat, with no defects.

⁷ They are to take some of the blood and smear it on the sides and top of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the animal.

¹³ But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ Each Passover lamb must be eaten in one house. Do not carry any of its meat outside, and do not break any of its bones.
