Exodus 12:4

And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

And if the household {H1004} be {H1961} too little {H4591} for the lamb {H7716}, let him and his neighbour {H7934} next {H7138} unto his house {H1004} take {H3947} it according to the number {H4373} of the souls {H5315}; every man {H376} according {H6310} to his eating {H400} shall make your count {H3699} for the lamb {H7716}.

except that if the household is too small for a whole lamb or kid, then he and his next-door neighbor should share one, dividing it in proportion to the number of people eating it.

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.

and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.
