Exodus 12 — Context

5

Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:

6

Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.

7

Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

8

And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.

9

Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.

10

Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.

11

And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.
