The First Book of Moses, Commonly Called Numbers
9:1 And Jehovah 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, 9:2Moreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season. 9:3In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it. 9:4And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 9:5And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 9:6And there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 9:7and those men said unto him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel? 9:8And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.
9:9And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 9:10Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah. 9:11In the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs: 9:12they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it. 9:13But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 9:14And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him that is born in the land.
9:15And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the
tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle
as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 9:16So it was alway: the cloud
covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 9:17And whenever the cloud was
taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and
in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped. 9:18At
the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and at the
commandment of Jehovah they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the
tabernacle they remained encamped. 9:19And when the cloud tarried upon the
tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and
journeyed not. 9:20And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and
according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. 9:21And sometimes the
cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the
morning, they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud
was taken up, they journeyed. 9:22Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year,
that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel
remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they
journeyed. 9:23At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the
commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah, at the
commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
