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]
