Numbers 9

1 The Passover is commanded again. 6 A second Passover allowed for them that were unclean or absent. 15 The cloud guideth the removings and encampings of the Israelites.

 9:1 Thus the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 in the wilderness 4057b of Sinai 5514, in the first 7223 month 2320 of the second 8145 year 8141 after they had come 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559,

 9:2 “Now, let the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 observe 6213a the Passover 6453 at its appointed 4150 time 4150.

 9:3 “On the fourteenth 702 6240 day 3117 of this 2088 month 2320, at twilight 6153, you shall observe 6213a it at its appointed 4150 time 4150; you shall observe 6213a it according to all 3605 its statutes 2708 and according to all 3605 its ordinances 4941.”

 9:4 So Moses 4872 told 1696 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 to observe 6213a the Passover 6453.

 9:5 They observed 6213a the Passover 6453 in the first 7223 [month], on the fourteenth 702 6240 day 3117 of the month 2320, at twilight 6153, in the wilderness 4057b of Sinai 5514; according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, so 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213a.

 9:6 But there were [some] men 376 who 834 were unclean 2931 because of [the] dead 5315 person 5315, so that they could 3201 not observe 6213a Passover 6453 on that day 3117; so they came 7126 before 6440 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 on that day 3117.

 9:7 Those 1992a men 376 said 559 to him, “[Though] we are unclean 2931 because of [the] dead 5315 person 5315, why 4100 are we restrained 1639 from presenting 7126 the offering 7133a of the LORD 3068 at its appointed 4150 time 4150 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478?”

 9:8 Moses 4872 therefore said 559 to them, “Wait 5975, and I will listen 8085 to what 4100 the LORD 3068 will command 6680 concerning you.”

 9:9 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872, saying 559,

 9:10 “Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, ‘If 3588 any 376 one 376 of you or 176 of your generations 1755 becomes 1961 unclean 2931 because of a [dead] person 5315, or 176 is on a distant 7350 journey 1870, he may, however, observe 6213a the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068.

 9:11 ‘In the second 8145 month 2320 on the fourteenth 702 6240 day 3117 at twilight 6153, they shall observe 6213a it; they shall eat 398 it with unleavened 4682 bread 4682 and bitter 4844 herbs 4844.

 9:12 ‘They shall leave 7604 none 3808 of it until 5704 morning 1242, nor 3808 break 7665 a bone 6106 of it; according to all 3605 the statute 2708 of the Passover 6453 they shall observe 6213a it.

 9:13 ‘But the man 376 who 834 is clean 2889 and is not on a journey 1870, and yet neglects 2308 to observe 6213a the Passover 6453, that person 5315 shall then be cut 3772 off 3772 from his people 5971b, for he did not present 7126 the offering 7133a of the LORD 3068 at its appointed 4150 time 4150. That man 376 will bear 5375 his sin 2399.

 9:14 ‘If 3588 an alien 1616 sojourns 1481a among 854 you and observes 6213a the Passover 6453 to the LORD 3068, according to the statute 2708 of the Passover 6453 and according to its ordinance 4941, so 3651 he shall do 6213a; you shall have 1961 one 259 statute 2708, both for the alien 1616 and for the native 249 of the land 776.’”

 9:15 ¶ Now on the day 3117 that the tabernacle 4908 was erected 6965 the cloud 6051 covered 3680 the tabernacle 4908, the tent 168 of the testimony 5715, and in the evening 6153 it was like the appearance 4758 of fire 784 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, until 5704 morning 1242.

 9:16 So 3651 it was continuously 8548; the cloud 6051 would cover 3680 it [by day], and the appearance 4758 of fire 784 by night 3915.

 9:17 Whenever 6310 the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927 from over 5921 the tent 168, afterward 310 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would then set 5265 out; and in the place 4725 where 834 8033 the cloud 6051 settled 7931 down 7931, there 8033 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would camp 2583.

 9:18 At the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would set 5265 out, and at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they would camp 2583; as long 3605 3117 as the cloud 6051 settled 7931 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, they remained 2583 camped 2583.

 9:19 Even when the cloud 6051 lingered 748 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908 for many 7227a days 3117, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 would keep 8104 the LORD’S 3068 charge 4931 and not set 5265 out.

 9:20 If sometimes 3426 the cloud 6051 remained 1961 a few 4557 days 3117 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they remained 2583 camped 2583. Then according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they set 5265 out.

 9:21 If sometimes 3426 the cloud 6051 remained 1961 from evening 6153 until 5704 morning 1242, when the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927 in the morning 1242, they would move 5265 out; or 176 [if it remained] in the daytime 3119 and at night 3915, whenever the cloud 6051 was lifted 5927, they would set 5265 out.

 9:22 Whether 176 it was two days 3117 or 176 a month 2320 or 176 a year 3117 that the cloud 6051 lingered 748 over 5921 the tabernacle 4908, staying 7931 above 5921 it, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 remained 2583 camped 2583 and did not set 5265 out; but when it was lifted 5927, they did set 5265 out.

 9:23 At the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they camped 2583, and at the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 they set 5265 out; they kept 8104 the LORD’S 3068 charge 4931, according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 through 3027 Moses 4872.
