¹ And Jehovah spoke to^▵ Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month in the second year after they were come·​·out of the land of Egypt, saying,

² Let the sons of Israel then make the Passover at its appointed·​·time.

³ In the fourteenth day in this month, between the two·​·evenings^*, you shall make it in its appointed·​·time; according·​·to all its statutes, and according·​·to all its judgments, you shall make it.

⁴ And Moses spoke to^▵ the sons of Israel, that they should make the Passover.

⁵ And they did the Passover on^◦ the fourteenth day on^◦ the first of^◦ the month between the two·​·evenings in the wilderness of Sinai; according·​·to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.

⁶ And there were certain men^◦, who became unclean by the soul of man^*, and they were· not ·able to make the Passover on^◦ that^◦ day; and they came·​·near before Moses and before Aaron on^◦ that^◦ day:

⁷ and those^◦ men^◦ said to^▵ him, We^◦ are unclean because of^◦ the soul of man; why are we diminished, that we may not^▵ offer an offering of Jehovah in its appointed·​·time in the midst of the sons of Israel?

⁸ And Moses said to^▵ them, Stand, and I will hear what Jehovah will command as·​·to you.

⁹ And Jehovah spoke to^▵ Moses, saying,

¹⁰ Speak to^▵ the sons of Israel, saying, If a man^◦, any man^◦ of^◦ you or of^◦ your generations, when^◦ he be unclean as·​·to the soul, or be on^◦ the way far·​·off, yet he shall make the Passover to Jehovah.

¹¹ In the second month, in the fourteenth day, between the two·​·evenings they shall make it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

¹² They shall leave none^▵ of it to^◦ the morning, nor break a bone of it; according·​·to all the statutes of the Passover they shall make it.

¹³ But the man^◦, he^◦ who is clean, and is not on^◦ the way^*, and forbears to do the Passover, then that^◦ soul shall be cut·​·off from his people, for he offered not the offering of Jehovah in its appointed·​·time; that^◦ man^◦ shall bear his sin.

¹⁴ And when^◦ a sojourner shall sojourn with^◦ you, then he will make the Passover to Jehovah; according·​·to the statute of the Passover, and according·​·to its judgment, so shall he do; there shall be one statute for you, and for the sojourner, and for the native of the land.

¹⁵ And on^◦ the day that the Habitation was raised·​·up the cloud covered the Habitation of^◦ the Tabernacle of the testimony; and in the evening there was upon the Habitation as·​·it·​·were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

¹⁶ So it was continually; the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

¹⁷ And when^* the cloud was made to go·​·up from on the Tabernacle, then after·​·that the sons of Israel journeyed; and in the place where^▵ the cloud inhabited, there the sons of Israel encamped.

¹⁸ By^◦ the mouth of Jehovah the sons of Israel journeyed, and by^◦ the mouth of Jehovah they encamped; all the days that the cloud abided^◦ upon the Habitation^* they encamped.

¹⁹ And when the cloud was·​·long upon the Habitation many days, then the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not.

²⁰ And it·​·was that the cloud was a number of days on the Habitation; by^◦ the mouth of Jehovah they encamped, and by^◦ the mouth of Jehovah they journeyed.

²¹ And it·​·was, that the cloud was there from evening until morning, and the cloud was made to go·​·up in the morning, and they journeyed; either by·​·day or^◦ by night, and the cloud was made to go·​·up, and they journeyed.

²² Or whether two·​·days, or a month, or many days, when the cloud was·​·long on the Habitation, abiding^◦ thereon, the sons of Israel encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was made to go·​·up, they journeyed.

²³ By^◦ the mouth of Jehovah they encamped, and by^◦ the mouth of Jehovah they journeyed; they kept the charge of Jehovah, by^◦ the mouth of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.
