* And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai , in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt in the first month , saying : * Let the sons of Israel therefore , keep the passover in its appointed season : * on he fourteenth day of this month between the two evenings , shall ye keep it , in its appointed season , according to all the statute thereof and according to all the regulations thereof , shall ye keep it . * Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover . * So they kept the passover in the first , on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings , in the desert of Sinai , according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses , so , did the sons of Israel . * But so it was that there were , certain men who had become unclean by a dead person , and could not keep the passover on that day , therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day . * Then said those men unto him , We , are unclean by a dead person , wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season , in the midst of the sons of Israel ? * And Moses said unto them , Stay , and let me hear , what Yahweh shall command concerning you ! * Then spake Yahweh unto Moses , saying : * Speak unto the sons of Israel , saying , Though , any man , be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off , whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations , yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh . * In the second month , on the fourteenth day between the two evenings , shall they keep it , with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs , shall they eat it . * They shall not leave thereof until morning , and no bone , shall they break thereinaccording to all the statutes of the passover , shall they keep it . * But as for the man who is , clean , and no a journey , doth not chance to be and yet faileth to keep the passover , that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk , for the oblation of Yahweh , hath he not offered in its appointed season , his own sin , shall , that man , bear . * When moreover there may sojourn with you a sojourner , who would keep a passover unto Yahweh , according to the statute of the passover , and according to the regulation thereof , so , must he keep
