8They shall eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but only roasted over the fire, with its head, its legs, and its inner parts.

10You shall not leave any of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.

11And this is how you shall eat it: with your waist belted, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You shall eat it in haste; it is the Passover of Yahweh.
