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.
