Exodus 12:5–13
12:5 Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep or from the goats.
12:6 You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
12:7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
12:8 They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
12:9 Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
12:10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
12:11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s Passover.
12:12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgements against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
12:13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
