Numbers 9
1¶ And the Lord spoke 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,
2Let the sons of Israel also keep the passover at its appointed season.
3In the fourteenth day of this month, between the two evenings, ye shall keep it in its appointed season; according to all its ordinance and according to all the laws thereof, shall ye keep it.
4And Moses spoke unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover.
5And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month between the two evenings in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the sons of Israel.
6And 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;
7and those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man; why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the Lord in his appointed season among the sons of Israel?
8And Moses said unto them, Wait, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.
9And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
10Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations should be unclean by reason of a dead body or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord.
11The fourteenth day of the second month, between the two evenings they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it; according to all the ordinance of the passover they shall keep it.
13But the man that is clean and is not on a journey and forbears to keep the passover, that same soul shall be cut off from among his people; because he did not bring the offering of the Lord in his appointed season; that man shall bear his sin.
14And 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 laws thereof, so shall he do; ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for the natural of the land.
15¶ And on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle over the tent of the testimony; and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.
16So it was always: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
17And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the sons of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel pitched their tents.
18At the commandment of the Lord the sons of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched camp; as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle, they rested.
19And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the sons of Israel kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey.
20And so it was, when the cloud was a determined number of days upon the tabernacle, according to the commandment of the Lord they camped, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.
21And so it was that when the cloud remained from evening unto the morning, and in the morning the cloud was taken up, then they journeyed; or if it had remained during the day and the cloud was taken up by night, they journeyed.
22Or if it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the sons of Israel camped and did not journey; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
23At the commandment of the Lord they camped, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed, keeping the charge of the Lord, as the Lord had said by the hand of Moses.
