EXOD143 (Continued from [[EXOD132]] Exodus 10:11 No AMJV 194). In order to insure that the Jewish family was truly unified, God commanded the Jewish people to take the Egyptian god, the lamb, and eat it as a united family, on what became the night of the Seder in Egypt. And if there were too few people in the nuclear family to finish the lamb, then they had to invite their neighbors-usually the extended family of grand parents and siblings-to join them and eat the lamb together. God also commanded the Jewish people to perform another ritual act to symbolize the unity of the Jewish family. In each Jewish home (which is the symbol of family), they were to replace the blood of that lamb on the door posts as a sign that this was a unified Jewish family. (Exodus 12:7) only then, after each Jewish family came together, could did Jews leave Egypt.
