Exodus 12:2-4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

² ‘This month is to be the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of your year.^{(A) 3} Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month they must each select an animal of the flock according to their fathers’ families, one animal per family. ⁴ If the household is too small for a whole animal, that person and the neighbour nearest his house are to select one based on the combined number of people; you should apportion the animal according to what each will eat.
