The Passover service was arranged. The priests stood in their places. The Levites were in their groups. That’s what the king had ordered.The Passover lambs were killed. The priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them. The Levites skinned the animals.
Suppose there are not enough people in your family to eat a whole lamb. Then you must share some of it with your nearest neighbor. You must add up the total number of people there are. You must decide how much lamb is needed for each person.The animals you choose must be males that are a year old. They must not have any flaws. You may choose either sheep or goats.Take care of them until the 14th day of the month. Then the whole community of Israel must kill them when the sun goes down.Take some of the blood. Put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where you eat the lambs.That same night eat the meat cooked over a fire. Also eat bitter plants. And eat bread made without yeast.
