Therefore, in this beginning of months, He made the heavens and the earth…”

1And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
— Exodus 12:2 —
3Speak ye unto 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 an house:
4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
