Numbers 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,
- 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.
