Exodus 12:4 in Context — Exodus 12

2 Este mes os será principio de los meses; será este para vosotros el primero en los meses del año.

3 Hablad á toda la congregación de Israel, diciendo: En el diez de aqueste mes tómese cada uno un cordero por las familias de los padres, un cordero por familia:

4 Mas si la familia fuere pequeña que no baste á comer el cordero, entonces tomará á su vecino inmediato á su casa, [y] según el número de las personas, cada uno conforme á su comer, echaréis la cuenta sobre el cordero.

5 El cordero será sin defecto, macho de un año: tomaréislo de las ovejas ó de las cabras:

6 Y habéis de guardarlo hasta el día catorce de este mes; y lo inmolará toda la congregación del pueblo de Israel entre las dos tardes.
