1 | And the
LORD spake 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, |
2 | Let the children of Israel also keep
the passover at his appointed season. |
3 | In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in
his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all
the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it. |
4 | And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they
should keep the passover. |
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. |
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: |
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? |
8 | And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will
hear what the LORD will command concerning you. |
9 | And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
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 afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the
LORD. |
11 | The fourteenth
day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened
bread and bitter herbs. |
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.
John 19:36
Ex 12:46
|
13 | But the man that is clean, and
is not in a journey, and forbeareth 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. |
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: ye shall
have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the
land. |
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. |
16 | So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the
appearance of fire by night. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
