Exodus 12:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 12:6

4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be ^awithout blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

6 Now you shall keep it until the ^afourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that ^anight; ^broasted in fire, with ^cunleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but ^aroasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails.

10 ^aYou shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.
