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. [at even: Heb. between the two evenings]
			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.
			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. [tarried...: Heb. prolonged]
			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# . [abode: Heb. was]
			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.
