The sacrifice and the eating as roast
And they shall anoint of his blood on the lintel and on both the doorposts. Lintel: the things above the head of all lambs. Doorposts: their bounds, through which they go in and go out in them — some enter in them, some go out from them — in which they are grasped as dwelling in them (Exodus 12:7).
Greek
Καὶ χρίσουσιν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς φλιὰς καὶ ἐπ' ἀμφοτέρων τῶν σταθμῶν, φλιὰς δὲ τὰ ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς πάντων ἀρνῶν, σταθμοὺς δὲ τοὺς τούτων ὅρους, δι' ὧν ||εἰσπορεύονται καὶ ἐκπορεύονται ἐν αὐτοῖς – οἱ μὲν ἐν αὐτοῖ<ς> εἰσέρχονται, οἱ δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐξέρχονται – ἐν οἷς καταλαμβάνοντ[α]ι οἰκοῦντες ἐν αὐτοῖς.
