The Passover at Sinai

9 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 Israelites keep the passover at its appointed time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight,[a] you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and all its regulations you shall keep it. 4 So Moses told the Israelites that they should keep the passover. 5 They kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight,[b] in the wilderness of Sinai. Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did. 6 Now there were certain people who were unclean through touching a corpse, so that they could not keep the passover on that day. They came before Moses and Aaron on that day, 7 and said to him, ‘Although we are unclean through touching a corpse, why must we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time among the Israelites?’ 8 Moses spoke to them, ‘Wait, so that I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.’

9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 10 Speak to the Israelites, saying: Anyone of you or your descendants who is unclean through touching a corpse, or is away on a journey, shall still keep the passover to the Lord. 11 In the second month on the fourteenth day, at twilight,[c] they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 They shall leave none of it until morning, nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute for the passover they shall keep it. 13 But anyone who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet refrains from keeping the passover, shall be cut off from the people for not presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time; such a one shall bear the consequences for the sin. 14 Any alien residing among you who wishes to keep the passover to the Lord shall do so according to the statute of the passover and according to its regulation; you shall have one statute for both the resident alien and the native.

The Cloud and the Fire

15 On the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant;[d] and from evening until morning it was over the tabernacle, having the appearance of fire. 16 It was always so: the cloud covered it by day[e] and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud lifted from over the tent, then the Israelites would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the Israelites would camp. 18 At the command of the Lord the Israelites would set out, and at the command of the Lord they would camp. As long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they would remain in camp. 19 Even when the cloud continued over the tabernacle for many days, the Israelites would keep the charge of the Lord, and would not set out. 20 Sometimes the cloud would remain for a few days over the tabernacle, and according to the command of the Lord they would remain in camp; then according to the command of the Lord they would set out. 21 Sometimes the cloud would remain from evening until morning; and when the cloud lifted in the morning, they would set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud lifted they would set out. 22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, resting upon it, the Israelites would remain in camp and would not set out; but when it lifted they would set out. 23 At the command of the Lord they would camp, and at the command of the Lord they would set out. They kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by Moses.

La Pâque célébrée au désert de Sinaï

9 L’Eternel parla à Moïse, dans le désert du Sinaï, le premier mois de la seconde année après leur sortie du pays d’Egypte. 2 Il dit: Que les enfants d’Israël célèbrent la Pâque au temps fixé. 3 Vous la célébrerez au temps fixé, le quatorzième jour de ce mois, entre les deux soirs; vous la célébrerez selon toutes les lois et toutes les ordonnances qui s’y rapportent.

4 Moïse parla aux enfants d’Israël, afin qu’ils célèbrent la Pâque. 5 Et ils célébrèrent la Pâque le quatorzième jour du premier mois, entre les deux soirs, dans le désert du Sinaï; les enfants d’Israël se conformèrent à tous les ordres que l’Eternel avait donnés à Moïse.

6 Il y eut des hommes qui, se trouvant impurs à cause d’un mort, ne pouvaient pas célébrer la Pâque ce jour-là. Ils se présentèrent le même jour devant Moïse et Aaron; 7 et ces hommes dirent à Moïse: Nous sommes impurs à cause d’un mort; pourquoi serions-nous privés de présenter au temps fixé l’offrande de l’Eternel au milieu des enfants d’Israël? 8 Moïse leur dit: Attendez que je sache ce que l’Eternel vous ordonne.

9 Et l’Eternel parla à Moïse, et dit: 10 Parle aux enfants d’Israël, et dis-leur: Si quelqu’un d’entre vous ou de vos descendants est impur à cause d’un mort, ou est en voyage dans le lointain, il célébrera la Pâque en l’honneur de l’Eternel. 11 C’est au second mois qu’ils la célébreront, le quatorzième jour, entre les deux soirs; ils la mangeront avec des pains sans levain et des herbes amères. 12 Ils n’en laisseront rien jusqu’au matin, et ils n’en briseront aucun os. Ils la célébreront selon toutes les ordonnances de la Pâque.

13 Si celui qui est pur et qui n’est pas en voyage s’abstient de célébrer la Pâque, celui-là sera retranché de son peuple; parce qu’il n’a pas présenté l’offrande de l’Eternel au temps fixé, cet homme-là portera la peine de son péché. 14 Si un étranger en séjour chez vous célèbre la Pâque de l’Eternel, il se conformera aux lois et aux ordonnances de la Pâque. Il y aura une même loi parmi vous, pour l’étranger comme pour l’indigène.

La colonne de nuée

15 Le jour où le tabernacle fut dressé, la nuée couvrit le tabernacle, la tente d’assignation; et, depuis le soir jusqu’au matin, elle eut sur le tabernacle l’apparence d’un feu. 16 Il en fut continuellement ainsi: la nuée couvrait le tabernacle, et elle avait de nuit l’apparence d’un feu. 17 Quand la nuée s’élevait de dessus la tente, les enfants d’Israël partaient; et les enfants d’Israël campaient dans le lieu où s’arrêtait la nuée. 18 Les enfants d’Israël partaient sur l’ordre de l’Eternel, et ils campaient sur l’ordre de l’Eternel; ils campaient aussi longtemps que la nuée restait sur le tabernacle. 19 Quand la nuée restait longtemps sur le tabernacle, les enfants d’Israël obéissaient au commandement de l’Eternel, et ne partaient point. 20 Quand la nuée restait peu de jours sur le tabernacle, ils campaient sur l’ordre de l’Eternel, et ils partaient sur l’ordre de l’Eternel. 21 Si la nuée s’arrêtait du soir au matin, et s’élevait le matin, ils partaient. Si la nuée s’élevait après un jour et une nuit, ils partaient. 22 Si la nuée s’arrêtait sur le tabernacle deux jours, ou un mois, ou une année, les enfants d’Israël restaient campés, et ne partaient point; et quand elle s’élevait, ils partaient. 23 Ils campaient sur l’ordre de l’Eternel, et ils partaient sur l’ordre de l’Eternel; ils obéissaient au commandement de l’Eternel, sur l’ordre de l’Eternel par Moïse.

Numbers 9
New International Version

The Passover

9 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai in the first month(A) of the second year after they came out of Egypt.(B) He said, 2 “Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover(C) at the appointed time.(D) 3 Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month,(E) in accordance with all its rules and regulations.(F)”

4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,(G) 5 and they did so in the Desert of Sinai(H) at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.(I) The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(J)

6 But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean(K) on account of a dead body.(L) So they came to Moses and Aaron(M) that same day 7 and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?(N)”

8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”(O)

9 Then the Lord said to Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body(P) or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate(Q) the Lord’s Passover, 11 but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month(R) at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.(S) 12 They must not leave any of it till morning(T) or break any of its bones.(U) When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations.(V) 13 But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people(W) for not presenting the Lord’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.

14 “‘A foreigner(X) residing among you is also to celebrate the Lord’s Passover in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born.’”

The Cloud Above the Tabernacle

15 On the day the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant law,(Y) was set up,(Z) the cloud(AA) covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire.(AB) 16 That is how it continued to be; the cloud covered it, and at night it looked like fire.(AC) 17 Whenever the cloud lifted from above the tent, the Israelites set out;(AD) wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped.(AE) 18 At the Lord’s command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained(AF) in camp. 19 When the cloud remained over the tabernacle a long time, the Israelites obeyed the Lord’s order(AG) and did not set out.(AH) 20 Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the Lord’s command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. 21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. 22 Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. 23 At the Lord’s command they encamped, and at the Lord’s command they set out. They obeyed the Lord’s order, in accordance with his command through Moses.
