46. It must be eaten in one house; you may not take any of its meat outside the house. You shall not break any of its bones.
47. The whole community of Israel must celebrate this feast.
48. If any alien residing among you would celebrate the Passover for the Lord, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may join in its celebration just like the natives. But no one who is uncircumcised may eat of it.
49. There will be one law for the native and for the alien residing among you.
