Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum said in his Feast of Passover lesson (mbs 114) that "The lamb that was to be killed for the Passover was set aside on the tenth day of the month of Aviv or Nisan…On the fourteenth day, the lamb was killed for the Passover meal. The next morning, another lamb was used as the Passover sacrifice."

The following instructions for Passover are given in Exodus 12.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the
same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall
kill it in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood,
and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the
houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the
flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with
bitter herbs they shall eat it. (Exodus 12:5-8, KJV)

I am unable to find any passages that say two lambs are killed – one for the Passover meal and a second one for the temple the next morning.

Does each family kill two lambs?
