2 “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.

3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.

6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
