Exodus 12:3-6

English Standard Version

³ Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb ^(A)according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household. ⁴ And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. ⁵ Your lamb shall be ^(B)without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, ⁶ and you shall keep it until the ^(C)fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.^[a]
