1 tn Heb “draw out and take.” The verb has in view the need “to draw out” a lamb or goat selected from among the rest of the flock.
2 tn The Hebrew noun is singular and can refer to either a lamb or a goat. Since English has no common word for both, the phrase “a lamb or young goat” is used in the translation.
3 tn The word “animals” is added to avoid giving the impression in English that the Passover festival itself is the object of “kill.”
4 tn The construction again uses the infinitive absolute with the verb in the conditional clause to stress the condition.
5 tn The clause uses the preposition, the infinitive construct, and the noun that is the subjective genitive – “at the going in of the sun.”
