Numbers - Chapter 9 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 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.
  • 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 {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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, {cf15I and} eat it with unleavened bread and bitter {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I 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.
  • 20. And {cf15I 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 {cf15I so} it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and {cf15I that} the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether {cf15I it was} by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
  • 22. Or {cf15I 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.
