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 offer Passover in his season: even
the fourteenth day of this month at even they shall keep it in his
season, according to all the ordinances and manners thereof. And Moses
bade the children of Israel that they should offer Passover, and they
offered Passover the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the
wilderness of Sinai: and did according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses. And it chanced that certain men which were defiled with a dead
corpse that they might not offer Passover the same day, came before
Moses and Aaron the same day, {time} and said: we are defiled upon a
dead corpse, wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an
offering unto the LORD in the due season, among the children of Israel?
And Moses said unto them: tarry, that I may hear what the LORD will
command you. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the
children of Israel and say: If any man among you or your children after
you be unclean by the reason of a corpse or is in the way far off, then
let him offer Passover unto the LORD: the fourteenth day of the second
month at even, and eat it with sweet bread and sour herbs, and let them
leave none of it unto the morning nor break any bone of it. And
according to all the ordinance of the Passover let them offer it. But
if a man be clean and not let in a journey, and yet was negligent to
offer Passover, the same soul shall perish from his people, because he
brought not an offering unto the LORD in his due season: and he shall
bear his sin. And when a stranger dwelleth among you and will offer
Passover unto the LORD, according to the ordinance of Passover and
manner thereof shall he offer it. And ye shall have one law both for
the stranger and for him that was born at home in the land. And the
same day that the habitation was reared up, a cloud covered it on high
{an hye} upon the tabernacle of witness: and at even there was upon the
habitation, as it were the similitude of fire until the morning. And so
it was alway, that the cloud covered it by day, and the similitude of
fire by night. And when the cloud was taken up from of the tabernacle,
then the children of Israel journeyed: and where the cloud abode there
the children of Israel pitched their tents. At the mouth of the LORD
the children of Israel journeyed, and at the mouth of the LORD they
pitched. And as long as the cloud abode upon the habitation, they lay
still, and when the cloud tarried still upon the habitation long time,
the children of Israel waited upon the LORD and journeyed not. If it
chanced that the cloud abode any space of time upon the habitation,
then they kept their tents at the mouth of the LORD: and they journeyed
also at the commandment of the LORD. And if it happened that the cloud
was upon the habitation from evening unto morning and was taken up in
