Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your [a]posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. 11 On (A)the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall (B)eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 (C)They shall leave none of it until morning, (D)nor break one of its bones. (E)According to all the [b]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 (F)shall be cut off from among his people, because he (G)did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time; that man shall (H)bear his sin.

14 ‘And if a stranger [c]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; (I)you shall have one [d]ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ”
