Exodus 12:6-12 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. Then, on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, the whole community of Israel will kill the animals.

7. The people are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorposts and above the doors of the houses in which the animals are to be eaten.

8. That night the meat is to be roasted, and eaten with bitter herbs and with bread made without yeast.

9. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, but eat it roasted whole, including the head, the legs, and the internal organs.

10. You must not leave any of it until morning; if any is left over, it must be burnt.

11. You are to eat it quickly, for you are to be dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your stick in your hand. It is the Passover Festival to honour me, the Lord.

12. “On that night I will go through the land of Egypt, killing every firstborn male, both human and animal, and punishing all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
