Each family must take care of its animal until the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, when the animals are to be killed.
But if any of you refuse to celebrate Passover when you are not away on a journey, you will no longer belong to my people. You will be punished because you did not offer sacrifices to me at the proper time.
Anyone, including foreigners who live among you, can celebrate Passover, if they follow all the regulations.
