Numbers 9
1. And the LORD spake * unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out * of the land of Egypt,saying * ,
2. Let the children of Israel also keep * the passover at his appointed season.
3. In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep * it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep * it.
4. And Moses spake * unto the children of Israel, that they should keep * the passover.
5. And they kept * the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded * Moses, so did * the children of Israel.
6. And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could * not keep * the passover on that day: and they came * before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
7. And those men said * unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man:wherefore are we kept back * , that we may not offer * an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
8. And Moses said * unto them, Stand still * , and I will hear * what the LORD will command * concerning you.
9. And the LORD spake * unto Moses,saying * ,
10. Speak * unto the children of Israel, saying * , If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off,yet he shall keep * the passover unto the LORD.
11. The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep * it, and eat * it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12. They shall leave * none of it unto the morning, nor break * any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep * it.
13. But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth * to keep * the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off * from among his people: because he brought * not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear * his sin.
14. And if a stranger shall sojourn * among you, and will keep * the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do * : ye shall have one ordinance,both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
15. And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up * the cloud covered * the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
16. So it was alway: the cloud covered * it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
17. And when the cloud was taken up * from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed * : and in the place where the cloud abode * , there the children of Israel pitched their tents * .
18. At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed * , and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched * : as long as the cloud abode * upon the tabernacle they rested * in their tents.
19. And when the cloud tarried long * upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept * the charge of the LORD, and journeyed * not.
20. And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode * in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed * .
21. And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up * in the morning, then they journeyed * : whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up * , they journeyed * .
22. Or whether it were two days, or a month,or a year, that the cloud tarried * upon the tabernacle, remaining * thereon, the children of Israel abode * in their tents, and journeyed * not: but when it was taken up * , they journeyed * .
23. At the commandment of the LORD they rested * in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed * : they kept * the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
