Numbers 9
Christian Standard Bible
The Second Passover
9 In the first month of the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, the Lord told Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai,(A) 2 “The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time.(B) 3 You must observe it at its appointed time on the fourteenth day of this month at twilight; you are to observe it according to all its statutes and ordinances.”(C) 4 So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover, 5 and they observed it in the first month on the fourteenth day at twilight in the Wilderness of Sinai. The Israelites did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 But there were some men who were unclean because of a human corpse, so they could not observe the Passover on that day.(D) These men came before Moses and Aaron the same day 7 and said to him, “We are unclean because of a human corpse. Why should we be excluded from presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time with the other Israelites?”
8 Moses replied to them, “Wait here until I hear what the Lord commands for you.”
9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 10 “Tell the Israelites: When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a corpse(E) or is on a distant journey, he may still observe the Passover to the Lord. 11 Such people are to observe it in the second month, on the fourteenth day at twilight. They are to eat the animal with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;(F) 12 they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones.(G) They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.
13 “But the man who is ceremonially clean, is not on a journey, and yet fails to observe the Passover is to be cut off from his people, because he did not present the Lord’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.
14 “If an alien resides with you and wants to observe the Passover to the Lord,(H) he is to do it according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the resident alien and the native of the land.”(I)
Guidance by the Cloud
15 On the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony,(J) and it appeared like fire above the tabernacle from evening until morning. 16 It remained that way continuously: the cloud would cover it,[a] appearing like fire at night.(K) 17 Whenever the cloud was lifted up above the tent, the Israelites would set out; at the place where the cloud stopped, there the Israelites camped.(L) 18 At the Lord’s command the Israelites set out, and at the Lord’s command they camped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they camped.
19 Even when the cloud stayed over the tabernacle many days, the Israelites carried out the Lord’s requirement and did not set out. 20 Sometimes the cloud remained over the tabernacle for only a few days. They would camp at the Lord’s command and set out at the Lord’s command. 21 Sometimes the cloud remained only from evening until morning; when the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out. Or if it remained a day and a night, they moved out when the cloud lifted. 22 Whether it was two days, a month, or longer,[b] the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle. But when it was lifted, they set out. 23 They camped at the Lord’s command, and they set out at the Lord’s command. They carried out the Lord’s requirement according to his command through Moses.

The Passover
9 Thus the Lord 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 ordinances.” 4 So Moses [b]told the sons of Israel to observe the Passover. 5 (C)They observed 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 the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did. 6 But there were some men who were (E)unclean because of the [c]dead person, so that they could not observe Passover on that day; so (F)they came before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7 Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of the [d]dead person, why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?” 8 Moses therefore said to them, “[e](G)Wait, and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you.”
9 Then the Lord 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, observe the Passover to the Lord. 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 observe it. 13 (L)But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet [g]neglects to observe the Passover, that [h]person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not present the offering of the Lord at its appointed time. That man (M)will bear his sin. 14 (N)If an alien sojourns among you and [i]observes the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he shall do; you shall have (O)one statute, both for the alien and for the native of the land.’”
The Cloud on 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)Whenever the cloud was lifted 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 the Lord the sons of Israel would set out, and at the [k]command of the Lord 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 Lord’s charge and not set out. 20 If [m]sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, (W)according to the [n]command of the Lord they remained camped. Then according to the [o]command of the Lord 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, staying 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 the Lord they camped, and at the [s]command of the Lord they set out; they kept the Lord’s charge, according to the [t]command of the Lord through Moses.

La Pascua
9 (A)El Señor habló así a Moisés en el desierto de Sinaí, en el primer mes del segundo año de su salida de la tierra de Egipto(B): 2 «Que los israelitas celebren la Pascua a su tiempo señalado(C). 3 En el día catorce de este mes, al atardecer, ustedes la celebrarán a su tiempo señalado; la celebrarán conforme a todos sus estatutos y conforme a todas sus ordenanzas». 4 Mandó, pues, Moisés a los israelitas que celebraran la Pascua. 5 Y celebraron la Pascua en el mes primero, en el día catorce del mes, al atardecer, en el desierto de Sinaí; tal como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés, así lo hicieron los israelitas(D). 6 Pero había algunos hombres que estaban inmundos por causa de una persona muerta(E), y no pudieron celebrar la Pascua aquel día. Y vinieron ante Moisés(F) y Aarón aquel día, 7 y aquellos hombres les dijeron: «Aunque estemos inmundos por causa de una persona muerta, ¿por qué se nos impide presentar la ofrenda del Señor en su tiempo señalado entre los israelitas?». 8 Entonces Moisés les dijo: «Esperen, y oiré lo que el Señor ordene(G) acerca de ustedes».
Ley de la Pascua
9 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: 10 «Habla a los israelitas y diles: “Si alguien de ustedes o de sus descendientes está inmundo por causa de un muerto, o anda lejos de viaje, puede, sin embargo, celebrar la Pascua al Señor. 11 La celebrarán a los catorce días del segundo mes(H), al atardecer; la comerán con pan sin levadura y hierbas amargas(I). 12 Nada dejarán de ella hasta la mañana(J), ni quebrarán hueso de ella(K); conforme a todos los estatutos de la Pascua la celebrarán. 13 Pero si alguien que está limpio y no anda de viaje, deja de celebrar la Pascua, esa persona será eliminada de entre su pueblo, porque no presentó la ofrenda del Señor a su tiempo señalado(L). Ese hombre llevará su pecado(M). 14 Y si un extranjero reside entre ustedes y celebra la Pascua al Señor, conforme al estatuto de la Pascua y conforme a su ordenanza(N) lo hará; ustedes tendrán un solo estatuto, tanto para el extranjero como para el nativo de la tierra(O)”».
La nube sobre el tabernáculo
15 (P)El día que fue erigido el tabernáculo(Q), la nube cubrió el tabernáculo, la tienda del testimonio(R), y al atardecer estaba sobre el tabernáculo algo que parecía de fuego(S), hasta la mañana. 16 Así sucedía continuamente; la nube lo cubría de día, y la apariencia de fuego de noche(T). 17 Y cuando la nube se levantaba de sobre la tienda, enseguida los israelitas partían; y en el lugar donde la nube se detenía, allí acampaban los israelitas(U).
18 Al mandato del Señor los israelitas partían, y al mandato del Señor acampaban; mientras la nube(V) estaba sobre el tabernáculo, permanecían acampados. 19 Aun cuando la nube se detenía sobre el tabernáculo por muchos días, los israelitas guardaban la ordenanza del Señor y no partían. 20 Cuando la nube permanecía algunos días sobre el tabernáculo, según la orden del Señor, permanecían acampados; y según la orden del Señor, partían(W). 21 Pero cuando la nube permanecía desde el atardecer hasta la mañana, y la nube se levantaba por la mañana, ellos partían; y si permanecía durante el día y durante la noche, cuando la nube se levantaba, ellos partían. 22 Ya fuera que la nube se detuviera sobre el tabernáculo permaneciendo sobre él dos días, o un mes, o un año, los israelitas permanecían acampados y no partían; pero cuando se levantaba(X), partían. 23 Al mandato del Señor acampaban, y al mandato del Señor partían(Y); guardaban la ordenanza del Señor según el mandato del Señor por medio[a] de Moisés.
