04:009:007 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?
04:009:008 And Moses said unto them, Stand still,
and I will hear what
the
lord will command concerning you.
04:009:009 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:009:010 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.
04:009:011 The fourteenth day of the second month
at even they shall keep
it,
and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
04:009:012 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.
04:009:013 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.
04:009:014 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.
04:009:015 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.
04:009:016 So it was alway: the cloud covered
it by day, and the
appearance
of fire by night.
04:009:017 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.
04:009:018 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.
04:009:019 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.
04:009:020 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.
