In context
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
— Exodus 12:2 —
3Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take each man a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household.
4And if they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbor that lives near to him—as to the number of souls, every one according to that which suffices him shall make a reckoning for the lamb.
