* And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai , in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt , saying : * Let the children of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time . * On the fourteenth day of this month , in the evening , you shall observe it at its appointed time . According to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances you shall observe it . * So Moses spoke to the children of Israel to observe the Passover . * And they observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month , at evening , in the wilderness of Sinai ; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses , thus the children of Israel did . * Now there were certain men who were defiled by a dead man , so that they could not observe the Passover on that day ; and they came before Moses and Aaron that day . * And those men said to him , We are defiled by a dead man . Why are we kept from offering the offering of Jehovah at its appointed time among the children of Israel ? * And Moses said to them , Stand by , that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you . * And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the children of Israel , saying : If anyone of you or your generations is unclean because of a dead person , or is far away on a journey , he shall still observe the Passover unto Jehovah . * On the fourteenth day of the second month , at evening , they shall observe it . They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs . * They shall leave none of it until morning , nor break any of its bones . According to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall observe it . * But the man who is clean and is not on a journey , and has ceased to observe the Passover , that soul shall be cut off from among his people , because he did not bring the offering of Jehovah at its appointed time ; that man shall bear his sin . * And if a stranger sojourns among you , and would keep the Passover unto Jehovah , he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance ; you shall have one ordinance , both for the sojourner and the native of the land . * And on the day that the tabernacle was raised up , the cloud covered the tabernacle , the tent of the Testimony ; from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire . * Thus it was always : the cloud covered it by day , and the appearance of fire by night . * Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tent , after that the children of Israel would set out ; and in the place where the cloud settled , there the children of Israel would encamp . * At the mouth of Jehovah the children of Israel would set out , and at the mouth of Jehovah they would encamp ; for as many days as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped . * When the cloud continued long , many days above the tabernacle , the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah and did not set out . * So it was , when the cloud was above the tabernacle a number of days : according to the mouth of Jehovah they would remain encamped , and according to the mouth of Jehovah they would set out . * So it was , when the cloud remained from evening until morning : when the cloud was taken up in the morning , then they would set out ; whether by day or by night , whenever the cloud was taken up , they would set out . * Whether it was two days , a month , or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle , the children of Israel would remain encamped and not set out ; but when it was taken up , they would set out . * At the mouth of Jehovah they remained encamped , and at the mouth of Jehovah they set out ; they kept the charge of Jehovah , at the mouth of Jehovah by the hand of Moses .
