v4
Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.
v5
They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
v6
There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
v7
Those men said to him, โWe are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of Israel?โ
v8
Moses answered them, โWait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you.โ
v9
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

โSay to the children of Israel, โIf any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.
v11
In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
v12
They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
v13
But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didnโt offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
v14
โโIf a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.โโ
v15
On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
v16
So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
v17
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
v18
At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
v19
When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept Yahwehโs command, and didnโt travel.
v20
Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.
v21
Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
v22
Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didnโt travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.
v23
At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahwehโs command, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
