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 (Traditional)
在西奈守逾越節
9 以色列人出埃及地以後，第二年正月，耶和華在西奈曠野吩咐摩西說： 2 “以色列人要在指定的時間守逾越節， 3 就是本月十四日，黃昏的時候，你們要在指定的時間守這節，要照著這節的一切律例和一切典章而行。” 4 於是，摩西吩咐以色列人要守逾越節。 5 他們就在正月十四日，黃昏的時候，在西奈曠野守了逾越節；耶和華怎樣吩咐了摩西，以色列人就怎樣行了。 6 有幾個人因為觸著死人而不潔淨，以致他們不能在那一天守逾越節；當日他們來到摩西和亞倫面前。 7 這些人對摩西說：“我們雖然因為接觸死人而不潔淨，為甚麼我們被拒絕，不能在以色列人中，在指定的時間獻耶和華的供物呢？” 8 摩西對他們說：“你們且等候，我要去聽耶和華對你們有甚麼吩咐。”
9 耶和華對摩西說： 10 “你要告訴以色列人說：你們或你們的後代中，如果有人因為接觸死人而成為不潔淨，或因到遠方旅行，他還要向耶和華守逾越節； 11 他們要在二月十四日，黃昏的時候，守逾越節，同時要吃無酵餅和苦菜； 12 一點也不留到早晨，羊羔的骨頭，一根也不可折斷；他們要照著逾越節的一切律例守節。 13 但那潔淨的，又不在路上旅行的人，如果忽略守逾越節，那人就要從自己的民中被剪除，因為他沒有在指定的時間內獻上耶和華的供物，那人必擔當自己的罪。 14 如果有外人寄居在你們中間，想要向耶和華守逾越節，他就必須照著逾越節的條例和典章而行；不論是外人或是本地人，只有一樣的條例。”
雲彩覆蓋會幕(A)
15 在豎立帳幕的那一天，有雲彩遮蓋著帳幕，就是法櫃的帳幕；到了晚上，雲彩在帳幕上，形狀像火，直到早晨。 16 常常是這樣：白天（《馬索拉文本》無“白天”，現參照各古譯本補上）有雲彩遮蓋帳幕，夜間雲彩形狀像火。 17 雲彩甚麼時候從會幕上收去，以色列人就起行；雲彩在甚麼地方停住，以色列人就在那裡安營。 18 以色列人照著耶和華的吩咐起行，也照著耶和華的吩咐安營；雲彩在帳幕上停留多久，他們就安營多久。 19 如果雲彩多日停留在帳幕上，以色列人就遵守耶和華的吩咐，不起行。 20 有時雲彩停留在帳幕上只有幾天，他們就照著耶和華的吩咐安營；也照著耶和華的吩咐起行。 21 有時雲彩從晚上到早晨停住；到了早晨，雲彩一收上去，他們就起行；有時雲彩從白晝到晚上都停住；雲彩一收上去，他們就起行。 22 雲彩停留在帳幕上不論有多久，或兩天、或一月、或一年，以色列人就安營，不起行；雲彩一收上去，他們就起行。 23 他們照著耶和華的吩咐安營，也照著耶和華的吩咐起行。他們遵守耶和華吩咐的，就是照著耶和華藉摩西吩咐的。
