9Numbers 9

1And 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,Select Numbers 9:1

2`Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its appointed season;Select Numbers 9:2

3in 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.'Select Numbers 9:3

4And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the passover,Select Numbers 9:4

5and 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.Select Numbers 9:5

6And 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,Select Numbers 9:6

7and 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?'Select Numbers 9:7

8And Moses saith unto them, `Stand ye, and I hear what Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.'Select Numbers 9:8

9And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,Select Numbers 9:9

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;Select Numbers 9:10

11in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it;Select Numbers 9:11

12they 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.Select Numbers 9:12

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.Select Numbers 9:13

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.'Select Numbers 9:14

15And 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;Select Numbers 9:15

16so it is continually; the cloud covereth it, also the appearance of fire by night.Select Numbers 9:16

17And 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;Select Numbers 9:17

18by 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.Select Numbers 9:18

19And in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle many days, then have the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journey not,Select Numbers 9:19

20and 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.Select Numbers 9:20

21And 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.Select Numbers 9:21

22Whether 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;Select Numbers 9:22

23by 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.Select Numbers 9:23
