Numbers Chapter 9
So the Lord hit up Moses while he was in the Sinai desert, in the first month of year two after they dipped from Egypt, saying,
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,
Tell the fam of Israel to do the Passover when it’s time, no cap.
Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
On the fourteenth day of this month, at night, do it right: follow all the rituals and ceremonies, fr.
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}
Moses gave the heads up to the kids of Israel to keep the Passover, periodt.
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
They did the Passover on the fourteenth night of the first month in the Sinai desert: just like the Lord told Moses, the kids of Israel handled it.
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.
Some guys were unclean 'cause they had touched a dead body, so they couldn't keep the Passover that day: they came to Moses and Aaron about it.
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:
Those guys were like, "We’re unclean from touching a dead body: why can’t we participate? We wanna offer to the Lord on time with the fam of Israel!"
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?
Moses was like, "Hold up for a sec, and I’ll check in with the Lord about you all."
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
Then the Lord told Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Tell the kids of Israel, "If any of you or your future fam is unclean from touching a dead body or is far away, they still gotta do the Passover for the Lord."
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.
On the fourteenth night of the second month, they should keep it and eat it with no yeast and bitter herbs, no cap.
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, {and} eat it with unleavened bread and bitter {herbs}.
They can't leave any leftovers till morning or break any bones: just stick to all the Passover rules, that's how it's supposed to go.
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.
But if a dude is clean and not traveling, but skips the Passover, that soul will be cut off from their people: 'cause they didn’t bring the Lord’s offering at the right time, that dude's gotta take responsibility for their sin.
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.
If a stranger is chilling with you and wants to keep the Passover for the Lord, they gotta follow the same rules: one law for all, both for the stranger and the locals.
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.
When the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered it, just like the tent of testimony: at night it looked like fire until morning.
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.
It was always vibes like that: cloud by day, fire by night.
So it was alway: the cloud covered it {by day}, and the appearance of fire by night.
Whenever the cloud lifted from the tabernacle, the kids of Israel moved out: wherever the cloud stopped, that’s where they made camp.
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.
By the Lord's command, they rolled out, and by His command, they set up camp: as long as the cloud was over the tabernacle, they kicked it in their tents.
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.
If the cloud hung out on the tabernacle for days, the kids of Israel followed the Lord’s orders and stayed put.
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}
So, when the cloud was there for a few days, they chilled in their tents, and when it lifted, they bounced.
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.
If the cloud was there from evening to morning and lifted in the morning, they moved out: whether it was day or night, they followed the cloud.
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}
Whether the cloud stayed for two days, a month, or a year over the tabernacle, the kids of Israel stayed in their tents and didn't move: but when it lifted, they journeyed.
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.
By the Lord's command, they rested in their tents, and by His command, they journeyed: they followed the Lord's orders through Moses.
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.
