1In the first month of the second year after they came out of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai. He said,
2“Let the Israelites prepare the Passover at the time appointed for it.
3This is to be between dusk and dark on the fourteenth day of this month; keep it at this appointed time, observing every rule and custom proper to it.”
4So Moses told the Israelites to prepare the Passover,
5and they prepared it on the fourteenth day of the first month, between dusk and dark, in the wilderness of Sinai. The Israelites did everything exactly as the LORD had instructed Moses.
6It happened that some men were ritually unclean through contact with a dead body and so could not keep the Passover on the right day. They came that day before Moses and Aaron
7and said, “We are unclean through contact with a dead body. Must we therefore be debarred from presenting the LORD's offering at its appointed time with the rest of the Israelites?”
8Moses answered, “Wait, and let me hear what command the LORD has for you.”
9The LORD told Moses
10to say to the Israelites: “If any one of you or of your descendants is ritually unclean through contact with a dead body, or if he is far away on a journey, he must keep a Passover to the LORD none the less.
11But in that case he is to prepare the victim in the second month, between dusk and dark on the fourteenth day. It must be eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
12let nothing be left over till morning, and let no bone of it be broken. The Passover is to be kept exactly as the law prescribes.
13The man who, being ritually clean and not absent on a journey, neglects to keep the Passover, will be cut off from his father's kin, because he has not presented the LORD's offering at its appointed time. That man must accept responsibility for his sin.
14“When an alien is settled among you, he also is to keep the Passover to the LORD, observing every rule and custom proper to it. The same statute applies to you all, to alien and native-born alike.”
The journey from Sinai to Edom
15ON the day when they set up the Tabernacle, that is the Tent of the Testimony, cloud covered it, and in the evening a brightness like fire appeared over it till morning.
16So it was always: the cloud covered it by day and a brightness like fire by night.
17Whenever the cloud lifted from the tent, the Israelites struck camp, and at the place where the cloud settled, there they pitched their camp.
18At the command of the LORD they struck camp, and at his command they encamped again, and continued in camp as long as the cloud rested over the Tabernacle.
19When the cloud stayed long over the Tabernacle, the Israelites kept the LORD's injunction and did not move;
20and it was the same when the cloud continued over the Tabernacle only a few days: at the command of the LORD they remained in camp, and at his command they struck camp.
21There were also times when the cloud continued only from evening till morning, and in the morning, when the cloud lifted, they moved on. Whether by day or by night, they moved as soon as the cloud lifted.
22Whether it was for a day or two, for a month or longer, whenever the cloud stayed long over the Tabernacle, the Israelites remained where they were and did not move on; they did so only when the cloud lifted.
23At the command of the LORD they encamped, and at his command they struck camp. They kept the LORD's injunction at the LORD's command, given through Moses.
