1. And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2. This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3. Speak ye to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house:
4. And if the household shall be too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
