Exodus 12:6

Israel

⁴ If the household is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor based on the number of people, and apportion the lamb accordingly.

⁵ Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.

You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.

⁷ They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

⁸ They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
