12. What are the facts of the passover?

Back 26

Each man is to take a lamb (year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats). On the 14th day, they are to be slaughtered at twilight. Some of the blood must be put on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. Do not leave any of it till morning; burn any leftovers. They were to eat it with their cloak tucked into their belt, sandals on their feet and their staff in hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover. That night, the LORD will pass through Egypt and kill every firstborn male in the household of those who did not have the blood on the doorframes of their house.
