1 Prvoga mjeseca druge godine nakon izlaska iz zemlje egipatske Jahve reče Mojsiju u Sinajskoj pustinji:

2 "Neka Izraelci slave Pashu u njezino vrijeme.

3 Slavite je u njezino vrijeme, u suton, četrnaestoga dana ovoga mjeseca; slavite je prema svim njezinim propisima i običajima."

4 Tako Mojsije reče Izraelcima da slave Pashu.

5 I oni su je slavili u Sinajskoj pustinji, u suton, prvoga mjeseca, četrnaestoga dana u mjesecu. Kako je god Jahve Mojsiju naredio, tako su Izraelci i učinili.

6 A bijaše ljudi onečišćenih mrtvacem; ti nisu mogli slaviti Pashu onoga dana. Dođu tako pred Mojsija i Arona istoga dana

7 pa reknu: "Mrtvacem smo se onečistili; ipak, zašto bi nam bilo uskraćeno prinositi Jahvi žrtvu u njezino vrijeme usred Izraelovih sinova?"

8 Mojsije im reče: "Strpite se da čujem što će Jahve za vas odrediti."

9 I Jahve reče Mojsiju:

10 "Ovako kaži Izraelcima: 'Kad se tko između vas ili vaših potomaka onečisti mrtvacem ili je na daleku putu, neka ipak slavi Pashu Jahvi.

11 Neka je slave u suton četrnaestog dana drugoga mjeseca. Neka je blaguju s neukvasanim kruhom i gorkim zeljem;

12 neka ništa od nje ne ostavljaju za ujutro; neka ni jedne kosti na njoj ne lome. Neka je slave prema propisima Pashe.

13 Onaj koji je čist a ne bude na putovanju pa ipak propusti proslaviti Pashu, neka se iskorijeni iz svoga naroda. Budući da nije prinio Jahvi žrtve u njezino vrijeme, takav neka snosi svoju krivnju.

14 Ako s vama boravi stranac i Pashu prinosi Jahvi, neka je prinosi prema propisima i običajima njezinim. Neka bude jedan zakon za vas, bio to stranac ili domorodac.'"

15 Na dan kad je podignuto Prebivalište oblak prekri Prebivalište, Šator svjedočanstva. Od večeri do jutra stajao je u obliku ognja nad Prebivalištem.

16 Tako ga je oblak neprestano zaklanjao, a noću bijaše poput ognja.

17 Kad bi se god oblak digao sa Šatora, Izraelci bi poslije toga krenuli. A gdje bi oblak stao, tu bi se i Izraelci utaborili.

18 Na zapovijed Jahvinu Izraelci su kretali na put i na Jahvinu se zapovijed utaborivali. Sve vrijeme što bi oblak stajao nad Prebivalištem oni su taborovali.

19 Ako bi oblak dugo stajao nad Prebivalištem, Izraelci su slušali Jahvin nalog i ne bi polazili na put.

20 Ali ako bi se dogodilo da oblak ostane nad Prebivalištem malo vremena, oni bi se na Jahvinu zapovijed utaborili i na Jahvinu zapovijed opet krenuli na put.

21 Ako bi se oblak digao pošto se zadržao od večeri do jutra, oni bi tada ujutro krenuli na put. Danju ili noću, kad bi se oblak digao, oni bi krenuli na put.

22 Dva dana ili mjesec ili godinu - dok bi oblak ostajao nad Prebivalištem - Izraelci su taborovali, ne krećući na put, a čim bi se digao, oni bi krenuli.

23 Po zapovijedi Jahvinoj stajahu u taboru i po zapovijedi Jahvinoj kretahu na put. Držali su se Jahvina naloga, kako Jahve bijaše zapovjedio Mojsiju.

284. The details just quoted about the proclamation of the law, its holiness and power, are to be found in the following passages of the Word. Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and the mountain then smoked and shook, there was thunder and lightning, an oppressive cloud and the sound of a trumpet: Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-26. The people prepared and sanctified themselves for three days before Jehovah came down: Exodus 19:10-11, 15. The mountain was hedged about to prevent anyone approaching its foot and coming near and being killed; not even the priests approached, only Moses: Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2. The law was proclaimed from Mount Sinai: Exodus 20:2-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The law was inscribed on two stone tablets, and written by the finger of God: Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. When Moses carried the tablets down from the mountain the second time, his face shone so that he had to cover his face with a veil when talking with the people: Exodus 34:29-35. The tablets were laid up in the Ark: Exodus 25:16, 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. The mercy-seat was mounted upon the Ark, and over it were placed cherubim made of gold: Exodus 25:17-21. The Ark together with the mercy-seat and the cherubim was put into the Tabernacle, constituting its first and thus most inward part; the table overlaid with gold, upon which was the bread of the Presence, the incense-altar of gold, and the lamp-stand and lamps of gold, made up the external part of the Tabernacle; the ten curtains of fine linen, purple and scarlet were its outermost part: Exodus 25:1-end; Exodus 26:1-end; Exodus 40:17-28. The place, where the Ark was, was called the Holy of Holies: Exodus 26:33. The whole people of Israel camped around the Tabernacle in the order of their tribes, and set out in order after it: Numbers 2:1-end. There was then a cloud over the Tabernacle by day and fire by night: Exodus 40:38; Numbers 9:15-end; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 1:33. Jehovah spoke with Moses above the Ark, between the cherubim: Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. The Ark was called from the law in it 'Jehovah-is-here'; for Moses said when the Ark set out 'Arise, Jehovah', and when it rested 'Return, Jehovah': Numbers 10:35-36; and further 2 Samuel 6:2 1 ; Psalms 132:7-8. On account of the holiness of the law Aaron was not allowed to go inside the veil, except with sacrifices and incense: Leviticus 16:2-14ff. By the presence of the Lord's power in the law contained in the Ark the waters of Jordan were parted, and the people crossed over on dry land, so long as it rested in the midst: ; 4:5-20. When the Ark was carried round them, the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua 6:1-20. Dagon, the god of the Philistines, fell to the ground in the presence of the Ark, and afterwards was found lying on the threshold of the shrine with his head torn off and the palms of his hands cut off: 1 Samuel 5. The men of Bethshemesh were smitten because of the Ark to the number of many thousands: 1 Samuel 5, 6. Uzzah was killed by touching the Ark: 2 Samuel 6:7. The Ark was brought into Zion by David with sacrifices and jubilation: 2 Samuel 6:1-19. The Ark was brought by Solomon into the Temple at Jerusalem, where he made its inner shrine: 1 Kings 6:19ff; 1 Kings 8:3-9.
