| 1 | And Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, | The Second Passover. | |
| 2 | "Let the people of Israel keep the passover at its appointed time. | ||
| 3 | On the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and all its ordinances you shall keep it." | ||
| 4 | So Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the passover. | ||
| 5 | And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the people of Israel did. | ||
| 6 | And there were certain men who were unclean through touching the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day; | ||
| 7 | and those men said to him, "We are unclean through touching the dead body of a man; why are we kept from offering Yahweh's offering at its appointed time among the people of Israel?" | ||
| 8 | And Moses said to them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you." | ||
| 9 | Yahweh said to Moses, | ||
| 10 | "Say to the people of Israel, If any man of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is afar off on a journey, he shall still keep the passover to Yahweh. | ||
| 11 | In the second month on the fourteenth day in the evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. | ||
| 12 | They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute for the passover they shall keep it. | ||
| 13 | But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, yet refrains from keeping the passover, that person shall be cut off from his people, because he did not offer Yahweh's offering at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin. | ||
| 14 | And if a stranger sojourns among you, and will keep the passover to Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover and according to its ordinance, so shall he do; you shall have one statute, both for the sojourner and for the native." | ||
| 15 | On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony; and at evening it was over the tabernacle like the appearance of fire until morning. | The fiery cloud. Nu.9.15-23 | |
| 16 | So it was continually; the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. | ||
| 17 | And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, after that the people of Israel set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the people of Israel encamped. | ||
| 18 | At the command of Yahweh the people of Israel set out, and at the command of Yahweh they encamped; as long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. | ||
| 19 | Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle many days, the people of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh, and did not set out. | ||
| 20 | Sometimes the cloud was a few days over the tabernacle, and according to the command of Yahweh they remained in camp; then according to the command of Yahweh they set out. | ||
| 21 | And sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud was taken up they set out. | ||
| 22 | Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out; but when it was taken up they set out. | ||
| 23 | At the command of Yahweh they encamped, and at the command of Yahweh they set out; they kept the charge of Yahweh, at the command of Yahweh by Moses. | ||
