Numbers 9
1599 Geneva Bible
9 2 The Passover is commanded again. 13 The punishment of him that keepeth not the Passover. 15 The cloud conducteth the Israelites through the wilderness.
1 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 The children of Israel shall also celebrate the (A)Passover at the time appointed thereunto.
3 In the fourteenth day of this month at (B)even, ye shall keep it in his due season: according to [a]all the ordinances of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof shall ye keep it.
4 Then Moses spake unto the children of Israel, to celebrate the Passover.
5 And they kept the Passover in the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
6 ¶ And certain men were defiled [b]by a dead man, that they might not keep the Passover the same day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron the same day.
7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by a dead man: wherefore are we kept back that we may not [c]offer an offering unto the Lord in the time thereunto appointed among the children of Israel?
8 Then 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, and say, If any among you, or of your posterity shall be unclean by the reason of a corpse, or be in a long journey, [d]he shall keep the Passover unto the Lord.
11 In the fourteenth day of the [e]second month at even they shall keep it: with unleavened bread, and sour herbs shall they eat it.
12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, (C)nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinance of the Passover shall they keep it.
13 But the man that is clean and is not in a [f]journey, and is negligent to keep the Passover, the same person shall be cut off from his people: because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his due season, that man shall bear his [g]sin.
14 And if a stranger dwell among you, and will keep the Passover unto the Lord, as the ordinance of the Passover, and as the manner thereof is, so shall he do: (D)ye shall have one law both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the same land.
15 ¶ (E)And when the Tabernacle was reared up, a cloud covered the Tabernacle, namely, the Tabernacle of the Testimony: and at even there was upon the Tabernacle, as the [h]appearance of fire until 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 afterward the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
18 At the [i]commandment of the [j]Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the Tabernacle, (F)they [k]lay still.
19 And when the cloud tarried still upon the Tabernacle a long time, the children of Israel kept the [l]watch of the Lord, and journeyed not.
20 So when the cloud abode [m]a few days upon the Tabernacle, they abode in their tents according to the commandment of the Lord: for they journeyed at the commandment of the Lord.
21 And though the cloud abode upon the Tabernacle from even unto the morning, yet if the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether by day or by night the cloud was taken up, then they journeyed.
22 Or if the cloud tarried two days, or a month, or a year upon the Tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel (G)abode still, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
23 At the commandment of the Lord they pitched, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed, keeping the watch of the Lord at the commandment of the Lord by the [n]hand of Moses.

民数记 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
在西奈守逾越节
9 以色列人出埃及地以后，第二年正月，耶和华在西奈旷野吩咐摩西说： 2 “以色列人要在指定的时间守逾越节， 3 就是本月十四日，黄昏的时候，你们要在指定的时间守这节，要照着这节的一切律例和一切典章而行。” 4 于是，摩西吩咐以色列人要守逾越节。 5 他们就在正月十四日，黄昏的时候，在西奈旷野守了逾越节；耶和华怎样吩咐了摩西，以色列人就怎样行了。 6 有几个人因为触着死人而不洁净，以致他们不能在那一天守逾越节；当日他们来到摩西和亚伦面前。 7 这些人对摩西说：“我们虽然因为接触死人而不洁净，为甚么我们被拒绝，不能在以色列人中，在指定的时间献耶和华的供物呢？” 8 摩西对他们说：“你们且等候，我要去听耶和华对你们有甚么吩咐。”
9 耶和华对摩西说： 10 “你要告诉以色列人说：你们或你们的后代中，如果有人因为接触死人而成为不洁净，或因到远方旅行，他还要向耶和华守逾越节； 11 他们要在二月十四日，黄昏的时候，守逾越节，同时要吃无酵饼和苦菜； 12 一点也不留到早晨，羊羔的骨头，一根也不可折断；他们要照着逾越节的一切律例守节。 13 但那洁净的，又不在路上旅行的人，如果忽略守逾越节，那人就要从自己的民中被剪除，因为他没有在指定的时间内献上耶和华的供物，那人必担当自己的罪。 14 如果有外人寄居在你们中间，想要向耶和华守逾越节，他就必须照着逾越节的条例和典章而行；不论是外人或是本地人，只有一样的条例。”
云彩覆盖会幕(A)
15 在竖立帐幕的那一天，有云彩遮盖着帐幕，就是法柜的帐幕；到了晚上，云彩在帐幕上，形状像火，直到早晨。 16 常常是这样：白天（《马索拉文本》无“白天”，现参照各古译本补上）有云彩遮盖帐幕，夜间云彩形状像火。 17 云彩甚么时候从会幕上收去，以色列人就起行；云彩在甚么地方停住，以色列人就在那里安营。 18 以色列人照着耶和华的吩咐起行，也照着耶和华的吩咐安营；云彩在帐幕上停留多久，他们就安营多久。 19 如果云彩多日停留在帐幕上，以色列人就遵守耶和华的吩咐，不起行。 20 有时云彩停留在帐幕上只有几天，他们就照着耶和华的吩咐安营；也照着耶和华的吩咐起行。 21 有时云彩从晚上到早晨停住；到了早晨，云彩一收上去，他们就起行；有时云彩从白昼到晚上都停住；云彩一收上去，他们就起行。 22 云彩停留在帐幕上不论有多久，或两天、或一月、或一年，以色列人就安营，不起行；云彩一收上去，他们就起行。 23 他们照着耶和华的吩咐安营，也照着耶和华的吩咐起行。他们遵守耶和华吩咐的，就是照着耶和华藉摩西吩咐的。
