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,
02 Let the children of Israel also keep the
passover at his appointed season.
03 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.
04 And Moses spake unto the children of
Israel, that they should keep the passover.
05 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.
06 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:
07 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?
08 And Moses said unto them, Stand still,
and I will hear what the Lord will command
concerning you.
09 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.
