Numbers 9
The Second Passover
3You are to observe it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth daya of this month, in accordance with its statutes and ordinances.”
3On the fourteenth day of this month, between the evenings, you shall keep it at its appointed time. According to all its statutes and ordinances you shall keep it.”
5and they did so in the Wilderness of Sinai, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
5And they kept 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 YHWH commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
6But there were some men who were unclean due to a dead body, so they could not observe the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron that same day
6And there were men who were defiled by the body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day. And they came before the face of Moses and Aaron that day.
7and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”
7And those men said to him, “We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we restrained from presenting the offering of YHWH at its appointed time in the midst of the sons of Israel?”
10“Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.
10“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any man is unclean by a body or on a journey far away from you or your posterity, he may still keep the Passover of YHWH.
11Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
11In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they may keep it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
13But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.
13And the man who is clean, and not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that person shall be cut off from among his people, because he did not bring the offering of YHWH at its appointed time. That man, he shall bear His sin.
14If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”
14And if a sojourner sojourns with you and would keep the Passover to YHWH, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he must do; one ordinance you shall have unto you and unto the sojourner and unto the native of the land.’”
The Cloud above the Tabernacle
15On the day that the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it and appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning.
15And on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony. And from the evening it was above the tabernacle, like the appearance of fire, until morning.
17Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites would set out, and wherever the cloud settled, there the Israelites would camp.
17And Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the sons of Israel would journey. And in the place where the cloud settled, there the sons of Israel would encamp.
18At the LORD’s command the Israelites set out, and at the LORD’s command they camped. As long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle, they remained encamped.
18At the mouth of YHWH the sons of Israel would journey, and at the mouth of YHWH they would camp. All the days that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, they camped.
20Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days, and they would camp at the LORD’s command and set out at the LORD’s command.
20And it was, when the cloud was a few days above the tabernacle, according to the command of YHWH, that they would remain encamped. And according to the mouth of YHWH they would journey.
21Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they would set out. Whether it was by day or by night, when the cloud was taken up, they would set out.
21And it was, when the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and the cloud was taken up in the morning, that they would journey. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud was taken up, they would journey.
22Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out.
22Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, remaining over it, the sons of Israel camped and did not journey; and when it was lifted up, they would journey.
23They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.
23At the mouth of YHWH they remained encamped, and at the mouth of YHWH they journeyed; they kept the charge of YHWH, at the mouth of YHWH by the hand of Moses.
