Exodus 12:4

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

If any family is too small to eat the whole animal, they must share it with their next door neighbours. Choose either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a one-year-old male that has nothing wrong with it. And it must be large enough for everyone to have some of the meat.
