Numbers

Chapter 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.
