NU-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,
NU-9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his
appointed
season.
NU-9:3 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.
NU-9:4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they
should keep the
passover.
NU-9:5 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.
NU-9:6 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:
NU-9:7 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?
NU-9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear
what the LORD
will command concerning you.
NU-9:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-9:10 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.
NU-9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they
shall keep it,
[and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].
NU-9:12 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.
NU-9:13 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.
NU-9:14 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.
NU-9:15 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.
NU-9:16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it [by day], and the
appearance of
fire by night.
NU-9:17 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.
NU-9:18 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.
NU-9:19 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.
NU-9:20 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.
NU-9:21 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.
NU-9:22 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.
NU-9:23 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.
