| 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 people of Israel keep the passover at its appointed time.
|
| 9:3 |
On the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, you shall keep it at its appointed time;according to all its statutes and all its ordinances you shall keep it.'
|
| 9:4 |
So Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the passover.
|
| 9:5 |
And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the wilderness of Sinai;according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the people of Israel did.
|
| 9:6 |
And there were certain men who were unclean through touching the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day;and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day;
|
| 9:7 |
and those men said to him, 'We are unclean through touching the dead body of a man;why are we kept from offering the LORD's offering at its appointed time among the people of Israel?'
|
| 9:8 |
And Moses said to them, 'Wait, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.'
|
| 9:9 |
The LORD said to Moses,
|
| 9:10 |
'Say to the people of Israel, If any man of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is afar off on a journey, he shall still keep the passover to the LORD.
|
| 9:11 |
In the second month on the fourteenth day in the evening they shall keep it;they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
|
| 9:12 |
They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it;according to all the statute for the passover they shall keep it.
|
| 9:13 |
But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, yet refrains from keeping the passover, that person shall be cut off from his people, because he did not offer the LORD's offering at its appointed time;that man shall bear his sin.
|
| 9:14 |
And if a stranger sojourns among you, and will keep the passover to the LORD, according to the statute of the passover and according to its ordinance, so shall he do;you shall have one statute, both for the sojourner and for the native.'
|
| 9:15 |
On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony;and at evening it was over the tabernacle like the appearance of fire until morning.
|
| 9:16 |
So it was continually;the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
|
| 9:17 |
And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, after that the people of Israel set out;and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the people of Israel encamped.
|
| 9:18 |
At the command of the LORD the people of Israel set out, and at the command of the LORD they encamped;as long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp.
|
| 9:19 |
Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle many days, the people of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and did not set out.
|
| 9:20 |
Sometimes the cloud was a few days over the tabernacle, and according to the command of the LORD they remained in camp;then according to the command of the LORD they set out.
|
| 9:21 |
And sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning;and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud was taken up they set out.
|
| 9:22 |
Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out;but when it was taken up they set out.
|
| 9:23 |
At the command of the LORD they encamped, and at the command of the LORD they set out;they kept the charge of the LORD, at the command of the LORD by Moses.
