From the lambs and the goats
And those who chew do not chew in the same way, but each differently according to his own power — not all being able to partake of him as of a sheep, but some, and perhaps more, as of a kid (Exodus 12:5).
Greek
[Καὶ οἱ τρώγοντες δὲ οὐχ ὁμοίως τρώγουσιν ἀλλὰ διαφόρως ἕκαστος κατὰ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν, οὐ πάντων ὡς προβάτου δυναμένων μεταλαμβάνειν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλά τινων καὶ τάχα πλειόνων ὡς ἐρίφου.
