Numbers 9

1 And the LORD spoke to 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,AKJV — Numbers 9:1

2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.AKJV — Numbers 9:2

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, you shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall you keep it.AKJV — Numbers 9:3

4 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.AKJV — Numbers 9:4

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.AKJV — Numbers 9:5

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:AKJV — Numbers 9:6

7 And those men said to him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?AKJV — Numbers 9:7

8 And Moses said to them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.AKJV — Numbers 9:8

9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,AKJV — Numbers 9:9

10 Speak to 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 to the LORD.AKJV — Numbers 9:10

11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.AKJV — Numbers 9:11

12 They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.AKJV — Numbers 9:12

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and declines 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.AKJV — Numbers 9:13

14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: you shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.AKJV — Numbers 9:14

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 on the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.AKJV — Numbers 9:15

16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.AKJV — Numbers 9:16

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 stayed, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.AKJV — Numbers 9:17

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 stayed on the tabernacle they rested in their tents.AKJV — Numbers 9:18

19 And when the cloud tarried long on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.AKJV — Numbers 9:19

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they stayed in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.AKJV — Numbers 9:20

21 And so it was, when the cloud stayed from even to 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.AKJV — Numbers 9:21

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried on the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel stayed in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.AKJV — Numbers 9:22

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.AKJV — Numbers 9:23
