Numbers:9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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
*
Now ,
on the day the habitation was reared ,
the cloud covered the habitation ,
even the tent of the testimony ,
and in the evening ,
it was over the habitation ,
like an appearance of fire ,
until morning ,
*
Thus ,
came it to pass continually ,
the cloud ,
covered it ,
and an appearance of fire ,
by night ;
*
but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent ,
then ,
after that ,
the sons of Israel set forward ,
and in the place where the cloud abode ,
there the sons of Israel encamped :
*
at the bidding of Yahweh ,
the sons of Israel set forward ,
and at the bidding of Yahweh ,
they encamped ,
all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation ,
they remained encamped .
*
And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation ,
many days ,
then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh ,
and would not set forward .
*
And ,
so it was ,
when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation ,
at the bidding of Yahweh ,
they remained encamped ,
and at the bidding of Yahweh ,
they set forward .
*
And ,
so it was ,
when the cloud would be from evening until morning ,
as soon as the cloud went up in the morning ,
so soon did they set forward :
whether by day or by night ,
as soon as the cloud went up ,
so soon did they set forward .
*
Whether for two days or a month or a year ,
the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon ,
the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward ,
but at the upgoings thereof ,
they set forward .
*
At the bidding of Yahweh ,
they encamped ,
and at the bidding of Yahweh ,
they set forward ,
the watch of Yahweh ,
they kept ,
at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses .
