Exodus 12:4 in Context — Exodus 12

2 Ce mois-ci sera pour vous le premier des mois; il sera pour vous le premier des mois de l’année.

3 Parlez à toute l’assemblée d’Israël, et dites: Le dixième jour de ce mois, on prendra un agneau pour chaque famille, un agneau pour chaque maison.

4 Si la maison est trop peu nombreuse pour un agneau, on le prendra avec son plus proche voisin, selon le nombre des personnes; vous compterez pour cet agneau d’après ce que chacun peut manger.

5 Ce sera un agneau sans défaut, mâle, âgé d’un an; vous pourrez prendre un agneau ou un chevreau.

6 Vous le garderez jusqu’au quatorzième jour de ce mois; et toute l’assemblée d’Israël l’immolera entre les deux soirs.
