Context
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2This month unto you the beginning of months: it the first month of the year to you.
3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of fathers, a lamb for an house:
4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
