Chapter 9 |
1 | 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, |
2 |
Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. |
3 | 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. |
4 | And Moses
spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. |
5 |
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. |
6 |
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: |
7
| 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? |
8 | And
Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will
command concerning you. |
9 | And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
10 |
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. |
11 | The fourteenth day of the second month at
even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs. |
12 |
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.
John 19:36
Ex 12:46
|
13 |
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. |
14 |
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. |
15 | And on the day that the tabernacle was
reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the
testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the
appearance of fire, until the morning. |
16 | So it
was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by
night. |
17
| And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after
that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud
abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. |
18 | At the
commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the
commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon
the tabernacle they rested in their tents. |
19 |
And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not. |
20 |
And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and
according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed. |
21 | And so
it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the
cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was
by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. |
22 | Or whether it were two days, or a month,
or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining
thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not:
but when it was taken up, they journeyed. |
23 |
At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the
commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the
LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. |
