YES, @Byrhtferth and Bede are the ideal choices, but I think we have to rally around Ælfric as a compromise https://t.co/R9kOpUAJb2

.@bodleianlibs Eat the lamb thus: clothe your loins and have your shoes on your feet and your staves in your hands, and eat quickly.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs Ete ge þus þ��t lamb: ymbgyrdað eowre lendena and habbað eowre scos on eowrum fotum and stafas on eowrum handum, and etað ofestlice.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs and break no bone, and leave nothing until morning. If anything is left over, burn it.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs and ne tobrece ge nan ban and ne belæfe þær nan þing oð ærnemerigen. Gif þær hwæt beo to lafe, þæt ge forbærnon.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs Do not eat the lamb raw or boiled in water, but roasted in fire; swallow up the head with the feet and the entrails

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs Ne ete ge hreaw þæt lamb ne gesoden on wætere, ac on fyre gebræd; þæt heafod mid þam fotum and þæt inneweard forswelgað

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs And at night let them eat the flesh, and let it be roasted in fire, and let them
eat unleavened bread with green lettuce.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs And on þære nihte eton hig þæt flæsc and þæt beo gebræd on fyre, and eton hig þeorfne hlaf mid grenum lactucum

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs And let them take some of the blood and put it on both of the doorposts and on the lintel of the house where they are eating the lamb.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs And nimon of þam blode and do on ægðrum gedyrum and on þam oferslege þær hig þæt lamb inne eton.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs and offrige hyt syððan eall seo menio Israela bearn on æfen
& then let the whole gathering of the children of Israel offer it in the evening

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs In the same manner take a kid and keep it until the moon is fourteen days old

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs Æfter þam ylcan gewunan nymað þæt hecyn and healdað hyt þæt se mona beo feowertyne nihta eald,

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs Hyt sceal beon hwites hiwes oððe butan womme, and anes geares eald.

It must be white in color or without blemish, and one year old.

[Byrhtferth of Ramsey @Byrhtferth]

.@bodleianlibs then let him take the neighbor nearest to him so that he can eat the lamb completely.
