Scrapbook with newspaper cuttings and photographs (Gaster Samaritan MS Add 15)

A black and white photograph depicts a large crowd of men, many wearing fezzes and traditional Levantine or Middle Eastern robes, gathered in an open-air, rocky setting. They are huddled around a central point on the ground, likely where the meat mentioned in the text is located. In the foreground is a pile of large, unhewn stones forming a low wall or boundary.

Eating the Lamb's Flesh

About midnight the roasted lambs are dragged out on their long spits. The eating is done literally according to verse 11 reference to Exodus 12:11, regarding eating the Passover lamb in haste. In less than ten minutes almost every vestige of the meat is gone, the women and children being supplied in the tents.
