Numbers 9
Revised Geneva Translation
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year, after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “The children of Israel shall also celebrate the Passover at the time appointed.
3 “On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall keep it, in its due season. According to all the Ordinances of it and according to all its ceremonies shall you keep it.”
4 Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel, to celebrate the Passover.
5 And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD had Commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
6 And certain men were defiled by a dead man, so that they might not keep the Passover on the same day. And they came before Moses and before Aaron on the same day.
7 And those men said to him, “We are defiled by a dead man. Why are we kept back so that we may not offer an offering to the LORD in the time appointed among the children of Israel?”
8 Then Moses said to them, “Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will Command concerning you.”
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘If any among you, or of your posterity, shall be unclean by the reason of a corpse, or be on a long journey, he shall keep the Passover to the LORD.
11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they shall keep it. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and sour herbs.
12 ‘They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break any bone of it. According to all the Ordinance of the Passover shall they keep it.
13 ‘But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and is negligent to keep the Passover, the same person shall be cut off from his people. Because he did not bring the offering of the LORD in its due season, that man shall bear his sin.
14 ‘And if a stranger dwells among you, and would keep the Passover to the LORD, as the Ordinance of the Passover, and as is its manner, so shall he do. You shall have one Law for both the stranger and for him who was born in the same land.’”
15 And when the Tabernacle was raised up, a cloud covered the Tabernacle—the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And from evening until morning there was the appearance of fire upon the Tabernacle.
16 So it was always. 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 afterward the children of Israel journeyed. And in the place where the cloud stayed, 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 stayed upon the Tabernacle, they lay still.
19 And when the cloud lingered upon the Tabernacle a long time, the children of Israel kept the watch of the LORD and did not journey.
20 So when the cloud stayed a few days upon the Tabernacle, they stayed in their tents, according to the Commandment of the LORD. For they journeyed at the Commandment of the LORD.
21 And though the cloud stayed upon the Tabernacle from evening until the morning, if the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed. Whether by day or by night the cloud was taken up, then they journeyed.
22 Or if the cloud lingered two days, or a month, or a year upon the Tabernacle, staying there, the children of Israel stayed still, and did not journey. But when it was taken up, they journeyed.
23 At the Commandment of the LORD they pitched, and at the Commandment of the LORD they journeyed, keeping the watch of the LORD at the Commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

La fecha de la Pascua
9 El Señor le habló a Moisés en el desierto de Sinaí, en el primer mes del segundo año después de la salida de Egipto. Le dijo: 2 «Los israelitas celebrarán la Pascua en la fecha señalada. 3 La celebraréis al atardecer del día catorce del mes, que es la fecha señalada. La celebraréis ciñéndoos a todos sus estatutos y preceptos».
4 Moisés mandó que los israelitas celebraran la Pascua, 5 y ellos la celebraron en el desierto de Sinaí, al atardecer del día catorce del mes primero. Los israelitas hicieron todo lo que el Señor le había mandado a Moisés.
Casos excepcionales
6 Pero algunos no pudieron celebrar la Pascua aquel día, pues estaban ritualmente impuros por haber tocado un cadáver. Ese mismo día se acercaron a Moisés y a Aarón, 7 y les dijeron:
―Hemos tocado un cadáver, así que estamos impuros. Ahora bien, esa no es razón para que no presentemos nuestras ofrendas al Señor en la fecha establecida, junto con los demás israelitas.
8 Moisés les respondió:
―Esperad a que averigüe lo que el Señor dispone con relación a vosotros.
9 Entonces el Señor le ordenó a Moisés 10 que les dijera a los israelitas: «Cuando alguno de vosotros o de vuestros descendientes esté ritualmente impuro por haber tocado un cadáver, o se encuentre fuera del país, aun así podrá celebrar la Pascua del Señor. 11 Solo que, en ese caso, la celebrará al atardecer del día catorce del mes segundo. Comerá el cordero con pan sin levadura y hierbas amargas, 12 y no dejará nada del cordero para el día siguiente ni le quebrará un solo hueso. Cuando celebre la Pascua, lo hará según las disposiciones al respecto.
13 »Si alguien deja de celebrar la Pascua no estando impuro ni fuera del país, será eliminado de su pueblo por no haber presentado sus ofrendas al Señor en la fecha establecida. Así que sufrirá las consecuencias de su pecado.
14 »Si el extranjero que vive entre vosotros quiere celebrar la Pascua del Señor, deberá hacerlo ciñéndose a sus estatutos y preceptos. Las mismas disposiciones se aplicarán tanto a nativos como a extranjeros».
La nube sobre el santuario
15 El día en que se armó el santuario, es decir, la Tienda del pacto, la nube lo cubrió, y durante toda la noche cobró apariencia de fuego. 16 Así sucedía siempre: de día la nube cubría el santuario, mientras que de noche cobraba apariencia de fuego. 17 Cada vez que la nube se levantaba de la Tienda, los israelitas se ponían en marcha; y donde la nube se detenía, allí acampaban. 18 Dependiendo de lo que el Señor les indicara, los israelitas se ponían en marcha o acampaban; y todo el tiempo que la nube reposaba sobre el santuario, se quedaban allí. 19 No importaba que se quedara muchos días sobre el santuario; los israelitas obedecían el mandamiento del Señor y no abandonaban el lugar. 20 Lo mismo ocurría cuando la nube reposaba poco tiempo sobre el santuario: cuando el Señor así lo indicaba, los israelitas acampaban o se ponían en marcha. 21 A veces la nube se quedaba una sola noche; pero, ya fuera de día o de noche, cuando la nube se levantaba, los israelitas se ponían en marcha. 22 Aunque la nube reposara sobre el santuario un par de días, un mes o más tiempo, los israelitas se quedaban en el campamento y no partían; pero, cuando se levantaba, se ponían en marcha. 23 Cuando el Señor así lo indicaba, los israelitas acampaban o se ponían en marcha. Así obedecían el mandamiento del Señor, según lo que el Señor les había dicho por medio de Moisés.

The Passover
9 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month(A) of the second year after they came out of Egypt.(B) He said, 2 “Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover(C) at the appointed time.(D) 3 Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month,(E) in accordance with all its rules and regulations.(F)”
4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,(G) 5 and they did so in the Desert of Sinai(H) at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.(I) The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(J)
6 But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean(K) on account of a dead body.(L) So they came to Moses and Aaron(M) that same day 7 and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?(N)”
8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”(O)
9 Then the Lord said to Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body(P) or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate(Q) the Lord’s Passover, 11 but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month(R) at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.(S) 12 They must not leave any of it till morning(T) or break any of its bones.(U) When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations.(V) 13 But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people(W) for not presenting the Lord’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.
14 “‘A foreigner(X) residing among you is also to celebrate the Lord’s Passover in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born.’”
The Cloud Above the Tabernacle
15 On the day the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant law,(Y) was set up,(Z) the cloud(AA) covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire.(AB) 16 That is how it continued to be; the cloud covered it, and at night it looked like fire.(AC) 17 Whenever the cloud lifted from above the tent, the Israelites set out;(AD) wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped.(AE) 18 At the Lord’s command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained(AF) in camp. 19 When the cloud remained over the tabernacle a long time, the Israelites obeyed the Lord’s order(AG) and did not set out.(AH) 20 Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the Lord’s command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. 21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. 22 Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. 23 At the Lord’s command they encamped, and at the Lord’s command they set out. They obeyed the Lord’s order, in accordance with his command through Moses.

The Second Passover(A)
9 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 “Let the children of Israel keep (B)the Passover at its appointed (C)time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, [a]at twilight, you shall [b]keep it at its appointed time. According to all its [c]rites and ceremonies you shall keep it.” 4 So Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover. 5 And (D)they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 Now there were certain men who were (E)defiled by a human corpse, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; (F)and they came before Moses and Aaron that day. 7 And those men said to him, “We became defiled by a human corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the children of Israel?”
8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that (G)I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”
9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your [d]posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. 11 On (H)the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall (I)eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 (J)They shall leave none of it until morning, (K)nor break one of its bones. (L)According to all the [e]ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person (M)shall be cut off from among his people, because he (N)did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time; that man shall (O)bear his sin.
14 ‘And if a stranger [f]dwells among you, and would keep the Lord’s Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover and according to its ceremony; (P)you shall have one [g]ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ”
The Cloud and the Fire(Q)
15 Now (R)on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud (S)covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; (T)from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud (U)was [h]taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the children of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children of Israel would pitch their tents. 18 At the [i]command of the Lord the children of Israel would journey, and at the command of the Lord they would camp; (V)as long as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped. 19 Even when the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle, the children of Israel (W)kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey. 20 So it was, when the cloud was above the tabernacle a few days: according to the command of the Lord they would remain encamped, and according to the command of the Lord they would journey. 21 So it was, when the cloud remained only from evening until morning: when the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they would journey; whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud was taken up, they would journey. 22 Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, the children of Israel (X)would remain encamped and not journey; but when it was taken up, they would journey. 23 At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed; they (Y)kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
