Bible verse
Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.
Exodus 12:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from Exodus 12.
1 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
2 “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.
3 Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.
4 If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.
5 Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.
6 You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.
7 They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
8 They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9 Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts.
