Exodus 12 — Context

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.

Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:

And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.
