11And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests splattered the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.

And they did the same with the bulls. 13They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people.Cross References
