The Second Passover^(A)

9 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: ² “Let the children of Israel keep ^(B)the Passover at its appointed ^(C)time. ³ On the fourteenth day of this month, ^[a]at twilight, you shall ^[b]keep it at its appointed time. According to all its ^[c]rites and ceremonies you shall keep it.” ⁴ So Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover. ⁵ And ^(D)they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

⁶ Now there were certain men who were ^(E)defiled by a human corpse, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; ^(F)and they came before Moses and Aaron that day. ⁷ And those men said to him, “We became defiled by a human corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the children of Israel?”

⁸ And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that ^(G)I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”

⁹ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁰ “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your ^[d]posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. ¹¹ On ^(H)the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall ^(I)eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. ^12 (J)They shall leave none of it until morning, ^(K)nor break one of its bones. ^(L)According to all the ^[e]ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it. ¹³ But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person ^(M)shall be cut off from among his people, because he ^(N)did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time; that man shall ^(O)bear his sin.

¹⁴ ‘And if a stranger ^[f]dwells among you, and would keep the Lord’s Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover and according to its ceremony; ^(P)you shall have one ^[g]ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ”

The Passover Reviewed^(A)

16 “Observe the ^(B)month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for ^(C)in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. ² Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and ^(D)the herd, in the ^(E)place where the Lord chooses to put His name. ³ You shall eat no leavened bread with it; ^(F)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may ^(G)remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. ^4 (H)And no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until ^(I)morning.

⁵ “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you; ⁶ but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover ^(J)at twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt. ⁷ And you shall roast and eat it ^(K)in the place which the Lord your God chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents. ⁸ Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and ^(L)on the seventh day there shall be a ^[a]sacred assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.

^21 (A)“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. ²² And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land ^(B)a bull for a sin offering. ²³ On the ^(C)seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish, daily for seven days, ^(D)and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. ^24 (E)And he shall prepare a grain offering of one ephah for each bull and one ephah for each ram, together with a hin of oil for each ephah.

²⁵ “In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the ^(F)feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.”
