И принеси в жертву пасхальную жертву Господу, Богу твоему, из мелкого и крупного скота на том месте, которое изберет Господь, чтобы пребывать там во имя Его.
English Explanation of Mishnah Keritot
There are in the Torah thirty-six [transgressions which are punishable with] karet:
When one has intercourse with his mother,
His father's wife;
Or his daughter-in-law;
When a man has intercourse with a male,
Or with a beast,
Or when a woman brings a beast upon herself;
When one has intercourse with a woman and her daughter;
Or with a married woman;
Or with his sister;
Or with his father's sister;
Or his mother's sister;
Or his wife's sister;
Or his brother's wife;
Or the wife of his father's brother;
Or with a menstruating woman;
One who blasphemes [the Lord];
One who worships idols;
Or dedicates his children to Molech;
Or has a ba’al ov;
Or desecrates the Shabbat;
When an unclean person eats of sacred food;
Or when one enters the precincts of the Temple in an unclean state;
When one eats forbidden fat,
Or blood;
Notar;
Or piggul;
When one slaughters
Or offers up [a consecrated animal] outside [the Temple];
One who eats anything leavened on Pesah;
One who eats
Or works on Yom Kippur;
One who compounds the oil [of anointing];
Or compounds incense;
Or uses [unlawfully] oil of anointing;
And [when one transgresses the laws of] the pesah,
And circumcision from among positive commandments.
Keritot opens with a list of thirty-six transactions for which one is liable karet if one commits the transgression intentionally, but without prior warning.

Rav Hirsch
דבר אל בני ישראל וגו׳ אדם כי יקריב מכם וגו׳ מן הבהמה מן הבקר ומן הצאן תקריבו את קרבנכם. Sollte hier nur allgemein die Bestimmung ausgesprochen werden daß, wenn Israels Söhne ein Opfer bringen wollen, dies entweder in בקר oder צאן bestehen habe, so würde der einfache Satz genügt haben: כי תקריבו קרבן לד׳ בקר וצאן תקריבוהו (vergl. וזבחת פסח לד׳ אלקיך צאן ובקר Dewarim 16, 2) oder nach ר׳ יאשיה (Sanhedrin 85b): בקר או צאן. In unserem Satze ist aber das bereits durch בני ישראל gegebene Subjekt teils durch das allgemeine אדם erweitert, teils wiederum durch מכם beschränkt, ebenso das Objekt בקר וצאן erweiternd durch בהמה und wiederholt beschränkend durch die auswählende Präposition מן ausgedrückt; endlich geht auch der Singular des Vordersatzes כי יקריב in den Plural des Nachsatzes תקריבו את קרבנכם über. Alles Stilmodifikationen, welche durch die darin festgehaltenen Halachot der mündlichen Überlieferung ihre eingehende Erklärung finden.
Abarbanel
On … the houses. The blood was to be placed on the inside because it was a sign for the B’nei Yisrael, not the Egyptians (see v. 13).
