Now if the household is too small for a [a]lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the [b]number of persons in them; in proportion to [c]what each one should eat, you are to [d]divide the lamb. Your [e]lamb shall be (A)an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. [f]You shall keep it until the (B)fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to slaughter it [g](C)at twilight.
