Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai ,
in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt ,
saying ,
*
Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season .
*
In the fourteenth day of this month ,
at even ,
ye shall keep it in his appointed season :
according to all the rites of it ,
and according to all the ceremonies thereof ,
shall ye keep it .
*
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel ,
that they should keep the passover .
*
And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai :
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses ,
so did the children of Israel .
*
And there were certain men ,
who were defiled by the dead body of a man ,
that they could not keep the passover on that day :
and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day :
*
And those men said unto him ,
We are defiled by the dead body of a man :
wherefore are we kept back ,
that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel ?
*
And Moses said unto them ,
Stand still ,
and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body ,
or be in a journey afar off ,
yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD .
*
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it ,
and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs .
*
They shall leave none of it unto the morning ,
nor break any bone of it :
according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it .
*
But the man that is clean ,
and is not in a journey ,
and forbeareth to keep the passover ,
even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people :
because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season ,
that man shall bear his sin .
*
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you ,
and will keep the passover unto the LORD ;
according to the ordinance of the passover ,
and according to the manner thereof ,
so shall he do :
ye shall have one ordinance ,
both for the stranger ,
and for him that was born in the land .
