1
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses , in the wilderness of Sinai , in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt , in the first month , saying,
2
`Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its appointed season;
3
in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings ye prepare it in its appointed season; according to all its statutes , and according to all its ordinances ye prepare it.'
4
And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the passover ,
5
and they prepare the passover in the first [month ], on the fourteenth day of the month , between the evenings , in the wilderness of Sinai ; according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses , so have the sons of Israel done.
6
And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on that day , and they come near before Moses , and before Aaron , on that day ,
7
and those men say unto him, `We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring near the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel ?'
8
And Moses saith unto them, `Stand ye, and I hear what Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.'
9
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses , saying,
10
`Speak unto the sons of Israel , saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations ), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah ;
11
in the second month , on the fourteenth day , between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it;
12
they do not leave of till morning ; and a bone they do not break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they prepare it.
13
`And the man who is clean , and hath not been on a journey, and hath ceased to prepare the passover , even that person hath been cut off from his people ; because the offering of Jehovah he hath not brought near , in its appointed season, that man doth bear his sin.
14
`And when a sojourner sojourneth with you, then he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah , according to the statute of the passover , and according to its ordinance, so he doth; one statute is to you, even to a sojourner , and to a native of the land .'
15
And in the day of the raising up of the tabernacle hath the cloud covered the tabernacle , even the tent of the testimony; and in the evening there is on the tabernacle as an appearance of fire till morning ;
16
so it is continually; the cloud covereth it, also the appearance of fire by night .
17
And according to the going up of the cloud from off the tent and afterwards do the sons of Israel journey ; and in the place where the cloud doth tabernacle , there do the sons of Israel encamp;
18
by the command of Jehovah the sons of Israel journey , and by the command of Jehovah they encamp; all the days that the cloud doth tabernacle over the tabernacle they encamp.
19
And in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle many days , then have the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah , and journey not,
20
and so when the cloud is a number of days over the tabernacle; by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command of Jehovah they journey .
21
And so when the cloud is from evening till morning , when the cloud hath gone up in the morning , then they have journeyed ; whether by day or by night , when the cloud hath gone up, then they have journeyed .
22
Whether two days , or a month , or days , in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle, to tabernacle over it, the sons of Israel encamp, and journey not; and in its being lifted up they journey ;
23
by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command of Jehovah they journey ; the charge of Jehovah they have kept , by the command of Jehovah in the hand of Moses .
