The animal:[1]
Only a sheep or goat is valid for the Karban Pesach. [Majority of people brought a sheep, while a minority brought a goat.]
The gender: The gender of the animal is to be a male. If a female animal was separated, it is invalid.[2]
The age: The animal must be older than one year of age. It must be younger than two years of age.[3]
Appointing a group of people to eat the Karban:[4] Each Karban had to have a certain amount of people appointed to it, to be able to eat it on the night of the 15th. Those who were not appointed could not eat from it.
