9:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
the first month of the second year after they had come out of
the land of Egypt, saying,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at its
appointed season.
9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, ye shall
keep it in its appointed season: according to all its rites,
and according to all its ceremonies, shall ye keep it.
9:4 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should
keep the passover.
9:5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the
first month at evening in the wilderness of Sinai: according to
all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of
Israel.
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:
9:7 And those men said to 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 its appointed season among the children
of Israel?
9:8 And Moses said to them, Stand still, and I will hear what
the LORD will command concerning you.
9:9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
9:10 Speak to 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
to the LORD.
9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at evening, they
shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
[herbs].
9:12 They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break any
bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover
they shall keep it.
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 its appointed season, that man shall
bear his sin.
9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep
the passover to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the
passover, and according to the manner of it, so shall he do: ye
shall have one ordinance both for the stranger, and for him
that was born in the land.
9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was erected the cloud
covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony:
and at evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were the
appearance of fire, until the morning.
9:16 So it was always; the cloud covered it [by day], and the
appearance of fire by night.
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.
9:18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped: as
long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in
their tents.
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.
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.
9:21 And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from evening to 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.
9:22 Or [whether it was] two days, or a month, or a year, that
the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining upon it, the
children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but
when it was taken up, they journeyed.
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.
