CHAPTER 9 Observing the Passover

1 And the lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the [²year ¹second] of their coming forth from out of the land of Egypt, in the [²month ¹first], saying, 2 Speak! And let [⁴prepare ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] the passover according to its season! 3 On the fourteenth day of the [²month ¹first] towards evening you shall observe it; according to its time, according to its law, and according to the interpretation given for it you shall observe it. 4 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, to observe the passover, 5 commencing on the fourteenth day of the month in the wilderness of Sinai. As the lord gave orders to Moses, thus [⁴did ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. 6 And [²came ¹men], the ones who were unclean by reason of touching a dead soul of a man, and they were not able to observe the passover in that day. And they came forward before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7 And [²said ¹those men] to them, We are unclean by reason of the dead soul of a man. Are we then lacking so as to bring the gift to the lord according to its time in the midst of the sons of Israel? 8 And [²said ³to ⁴them ¹Moses], Stand there and I will hear what the lord gives charge concerning you. 9 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the sons of Israel! saying, A man, a man who ever becomes unclean by reason of a dead soul of a man, or on a journey far from you, even among your generations, he shall observe the passover to the lord. 11 In the [²month ¹second], on the fourteenth day towards evening, they shall prepare it; upon unleavened breads and bitter herbs they shall eat it. 12 They shall not leave behind any of it into the morning, and [³a bone ¹they shall not ²break] of it. According to the law of the passover they shall observe it. 13 And the man who ever might be clean, and [²on ³a journey ⁴far away ¹is not], and should lack to observe the passovers, [²shall be utterly destroyed ¹that soul] from its people, because the gift to the lord he did not offer according to its time; [³his sin ²shall take ¹that man]. 14 But if [²should come forward ³to ⁴you ¹a foreigner] in your land, and would observe the passover to the lord, then according to the law of the passover, and according to its arrangement, thus he shall observe it. [³law ²one ¹There will be] to you, both to the foreigner, and to the native born of the land.

The Cloud and the Fire

15 And in the day which [³was set up ¹the ²tent] [³covered ¹the ²cloud] the tent -- the house of the testimony. And in the evening there was upon the tent as a form of fire until morning. 16 So it was always. The cloud covered it by day, and the form of fire by the night. 17 And when [³ascended ¹the ²cloud] from the tent, then after this [⁴departed ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. And in the place where ever [³stopped ¹the ²cloud], there [⁴camped ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. 18 By order of the lord [⁴shall camp ¹the ²sons ³of Israel], and by order of the lord they shall depart. All the days in which [³shadowed ¹the ²cloud] over the tent, [⁴shall camp ¹the ²sons ³of Israel]. 19 And whenever [³should be dragged ¹the ²cloud] upon the tent [²days ¹for many], that [⁴shall guard ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] the watch of the lord, and in no way shall they lift away. 20 And it shall be whenever [³should become ¹the ²cloud ⁵of days ⁴a number] upon the tent; by the voice of the lord they shall camp, and by order of the lord they shall depart. 21 And it shall be whenever [³should be present ¹the ²cloud] from evening until morning, and [³should ascend ¹the ²cloud] in the morning, then they shall depart by day or night, 22 or [²a month ³of days ¹when being more than] of the cloud shadowing upon it, [⁴shall camp ¹the ²sons ³of Israel], and in no way shall they depart. 23 For by order of the lord they shall depart. [²the ³watch ⁴of the lord ¹They guarded] by order of the lord by the hand of Moses.
