1 Now the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out) and Aaron (light bringer) in the land of Egypt (land of bondage),

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 (he wrestles with God) that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb (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 (he wrestles with God) will slaughter the animals at twilight \between the two evenings/.
