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
,
Let the children of Israel
also keep
the passover
at his appointed season
.
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.
And Moses spake
unto the children
of Israel
, that they should keep
the passover
.
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
.
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
:
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
?
And Moses said
unto them, Stand still
, and I will hear
what the LORD
will command
concerning you.
And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
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
.
The fourteenth day
of the second
month
at even
they shall keep
it, and eat
it with unleavened bread
and bitter
herbs .
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
So it was alway: the cloud
covered
it by day , and the appearance
of fire
by night
.
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
.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
