NUMBERS ยท Chapter 9
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,
9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed
season.
9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, all of you shall
keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and
according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall all of you keep it.
9:4 And Moses spoke unto 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 even 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 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?
9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the
LORD will command concerning you.
9:9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
9:10 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 far off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep
it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9:12 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.
9:13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbears
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.
9:14 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: all of you 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 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.
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 pitched: 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 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.
9:22 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.
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.
