Numeri 9
Het Boek
Aanwijzingen voor viering van Pesach
9 De Here gaf Mozes de volgende instructies, terwijl hij en de Israëlieten verbleven in de woestijn op het Sinaï-schiereiland in de eerste maand van het tweede jaar na de uittocht uit Egypte: 2,3 ‘Het volk Israël moet Pesach, het Paasfeest, jaarlijks vieren op de veertiende dag van de eerste maand. Het feest begint ʼs avonds. Zorg ervoor dat u al mijn opdrachten voor dit feest nauwgezet uitvoert.’ 4,5 Dus kondigde Mozes aan dat Pesach op de avond van de veertiende dag daar in de Sinaï zou beginnen, net zoals de Here hem had opgedragen en zo gebeurde het. 6 Het geval deed zich voor dat enkele mannen onrein waren omdat zij een dode hadden aangeraakt. Zij konden Pesach dus niet meevieren en niet van het lam eten. 7 Zij legden hun probleem aan Mozes en Aäron voor en vertelden dat zij zich tekort gedaan voelden omdat zij hun offers niet op de vastgestelde tijd mochten brengen. 8 Mozes zei dat hij God om raad zou vragen 9 en dit was het antwoord dat hij van de Here ontving: 10 ‘Als de Israëlieten—nu of in de toekomst—op het moment van Pesach, het Paasfeest, onrein zijn doordat zij een dode hebben aangeraakt of omdat zij op reis zijn, mogen zij Pesach wel vieren, maar dan een maand later. 11 Zij doen dit dan op de veertiende van de tweede maand, beginnend in de avond. Zij moeten dan het lam eten met ongezuurd brood en bittere kruiden. 12 Zij mogen niets laten liggen tot de volgende morgen, geen enkel bot van het lam breken en de gegeven aanwijzingen voor Pesach nauwkeurig opvolgen. 13 Maar iemand die niet onrein of onderweg is en weigert Pesach op de aangegeven tijd te vieren, moet uit het volk Israël worden verbannen, omdat hij weigert de Here op de vastgestelde tijd een offer te brengen, hij moet zijn schuld dragen. 14 Als er een buitenlander bij u woont die Pesach, het Paasfeest voor de Here, wil meevieren, moet hij dezelfde instructies opvolgen. Er is één wet voor allen, zowel voor uw volksgenoten als voor vreemdelingen.’
15 Op de dag dat de tabernakel werd opgezet, bedekte de wolk deze en ʼs nachts veranderde de wolk in een zuil van vuur die de hele nacht zichtbaar bleef. 16 Zo ging het voortdurend: overdag een wolk en ʼs nachts een vuurzuil. 17 Wanneer de wolk opsteeg, braken de Israëlieten op, volgden hem naar de plaats waar hij stopte en sloegen daar het kamp op. 18 Op die manier reisden zij op bevel van de Here, stopten waar Hij het wilde en bleven daar tot de wolk weer verder ging. 19,20 Als hij lang bleef, bleven zij ook lang. Maar als hij maar enkele dagen bleef, bleven zij ook maar enkele dagen, want dat had de Here hun opgedragen. 21 Soms bleef de vuurzuil slechts één nacht stilstaan om de volgende morgen verder te trekken. Maar of het nu dag of nacht was, wanneer de wolk zich bewoog, braken de Israëlieten op en volgden hem. 22 Als de wolk twee dagen, een maand of een jaar boven de tabernakel bleef, bleven de Israëlieten ook zolang, maar zo gauw hij weer bewoog, trokken zij verder. 23 Op aanwijzing van de Here sloegen zij hun kamp op en op zijn bevel trokken zij weer verder. Zij volgden precies alle aanwijzingen op die de Here hun door Mozes gaf.

The Passover
9 Thus Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in (A)the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 “Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at (B)its appointed time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, [a]at twilight, you shall observe it at its appointed time; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its judgments.” 4 So Moses [b]told the sons of Israel to celebrate the Passover. 5 (C)And they celebrated the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; (D)according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did. 6 But there were some men who were (E)unclean because of a [c]dead person, so that they could not celebrate Passover on that day; so (F)they came near before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7 And those men said to him, “We are unclean because of a [d]dead person. But why are we restrained from bringing near the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?” 8 Moses therefore said to them, “[e](G)Wait, and I will listen to what Yahweh will command concerning you.”
9 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead [f]person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, celebrate the Passover to Yahweh. 11 In the second month on the (H)fourteenth day at twilight, they shall observe it; they (I)shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They (J)shall leave none of it until morning (K)nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall celebrate it. 13 (L)But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet [g]neglects to celebrate the Passover, that [h]person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not bring near the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time. That man (M)will bear his sin. 14 (N)If a sojourner sojourns among you and [i]celebrates the Passover to Yahweh, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its judgment, so he shall do; you shall have (O)one statute, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.’”
The Cloud Covering the Tabernacle
15 Now on (P)the day that the tabernacle was erected (Q)the cloud covered the tabernacle, the (R)tent of the testimony, and (S)in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle until morning. 16 So it was continuously; (T)the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 (U)Now whenever the cloud would go up from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would then set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp. 18 At the [j]command of Yahweh the sons of Israel would set out, and at the [k]command of Yahweh they would camp; (V)as long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped. 19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, [l]the sons of Israel would keep the charge of Yahweh and not set out. 20 If [m]sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, (W)according to the [n]command of Yahweh they remained camped. Then according to the [o]command of Yahweh they set out. 21 If [p]sometimes the cloud [q]remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would move out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out. 22 Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, dwelling above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but (X)when it was lifted, they did set out. 23 (Y)At the [r]command of Yahweh they camped, and at the [s]command of Yahweh they set out; they kept the charge of Yahweh, according to the [t]command of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

Numbers 9
King James Version
9 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 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 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, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter 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 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, 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 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 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 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.
22 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.
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.
