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. |
