* And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai , in the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt , saying , * Let the children of Israel also hold the passover at its set time ; * on the fourteenth day in this month between the two evenings , ye shall hold it at its set time ; according to all the rites of it , and according to all the ordinances thereof shall ye hold it . * And Moses spoke to the children of Israel , that they should hold the passover . * And they held the passover in the first [month ] on the fourteenth day of the month , between the two evenings , in the wilderness of Sinai : according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses , so did the children of Israel . * And there were men , who were unclean through the dead body of a man , and could not hold the passover on that day ; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day . * And those men said to him , We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man : why are we kept back , that we may not present the offering of Jehovah at its set time among the children of Israel ? * And Moses said to them , Stay , and I will hear what Jehovah commands concerning you . * And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak unto the children of Israel , saying , If any one of you or of your generations be unclean by reason of a dead body or be on a journey afar off , yet he shall hold the passover to Jehovah . * In the second month , on the fourteenth day , between the two evenings , shall they hold it ; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs shall they eat it . * They shall leave none of it until the morning , nor break a bone thereof : according to every ordinance of the passover shall they hold it . * But a man that is clean , and is not on a journey , and forbeareth to hold the passover , that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples ; because he presented not the offering of Jehovah at its set time : that man shall bear his sin . * And if a stranger shall sojourn among you , and would hold the passover to Jehovah , according to the rite of the passover , and according to the ordinance thereof , so shall he do . Ye shall have one rite , both for the stranger and for him that is born in the land .
