1 En die HERE het met Moses gespreek in die woestyn Sinai -- in die tweede jaar nadat hulle uit Egipteland uitgetrek het, in die eerste maand -- en gesê

2 dat die kinders van Israel die pasga op die bepaalde tyd moet hou.

3 Op die veertiende dag in hierdie maand, teen die aand, moet julle dit op die bepaalde tyd hou; volgens al sy insettinge en al sy verordeninge moet julle dit hou.

4 Toe het Moses met die kinders van Israel gespreek dat hulle die pasga moet hou.

5 En hulle het die pasga gehou op die veertiende dag van die eerste maand, teen die aand, in die woestyn Sinai; net soos die HERE Moses beveel het, so het die kinders van Israel gedoen.

6 En daar was manne wat deur die lyk van 'n mens onrein geword het en op dieselfde dag die pasga nie kon hou nie. Daarom het hulle nader gekom voor Moses en A„ron op dieselfde dag,

7 en die manne het vir hom gesê: Ons is onrein deur die lyk van 'n mens; waarom moet ons te kort gedoen word, dat ons die offer van die HERE nie op die bepaalde tyd onder die kinders van Israel sou bring nie?

8 En Moses het vir hulle gesê: Bly staan, dat ek kan hoor wat die HERE julle sal beveel.

9 Toe het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:

10 Spreek met die kinders van Israel en sê: As iemand van julle of van julle geslagte deur 'n lyk onrein word of op 'n ver reis is, moet hy tog die pasga vir die HERE hou.

11 In die tweede maand, op die veertiende dag, teen die aand, moet hulle dit hou; met ongesuurde brode en bitter kruie moet hulle dit eet.

12 Hulle moet daarvan niks laat oorbly tot die môre toe of 'n been daaraan breek nie; volgens die hele insetting van die pasga moet hulle dit hou.

13 Maar die man wat rein is en nie op reis is nie en nalaat om die pasga te hou, die siel moet uit sy volksgenote uitgeroei word; want hy het die offer van die HERE nie op die bepaalde tyd gebring nie. Di, man moet sy sonde dra.

14 En as 'n vreemdeling by julle vertoef en die pasga vir die HERE hou, moet hy dit hou volgens die insetting van die pasga en volgens die verordening daarvan. Dit moet een insetting vir julle wees, vir die vreemdeling sowel as die kind van die land.

15 En op die dag toe hulle die tabernakel opgerig het, het die wolk die tabernakel van die tent van die Getuienis oordek, en in die aand was dit oor die tabernakel soos 'n gedaante van vuur, tot die môre toe.

16 So was dit altyddeur: die wolk het dit oordek, en snags 'n gedaante van vuur.

17 En so dikwels as die wolk van die tent af optrek, het die kinders van Israel daarna weggetrek; en op die plek waar die wolk rus, daar het die kinders van Israel laer opgeslaan --

18 volgens die bevel van die HERE het die kinders van Israel weggetrek en volgens die bevel van die HERE laer opgeslaan; al die dae wat die wolk oor die tabernakel gerus het, het hulle in die laer gestaan.

19 En as die wolk baie dae oor die tabernakel bly, het die kinders van Israel die diens van die HERE waargeneem en nie weggetrek nie.

20 Maar somtyds was die wolk net 'n paar dae oor die tabernakel -- volgens die bevel van die HERE het hulle laer opgeslaan, en volgens die bevel van die HERE het hulle weggetrek.

21 En somtyds was die wolk daar van die aand tot die môre -- as die wolk in die môre optrek, het hulle weggetrek; of by dag of by nag -- as die wolk optrek, het hulle weggetrek;

22 of n twee dae of 'n maand of langer -- as die wolk lank oor die tabernakel bly, het die kinders van Israel in die laer gestaan en nie weggetrek nie; en as dit optrek, het hulle weggetrek.

23 Volgens die bevel van die HERE het hulle laer opgeslaan, en volgens die bevel van die HERE het hulle weggetrek. Hulle het die voorskrif van die HERE in ag geneem volgens die bevel van die HERE deur die diens van Moses.

1 And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

2 Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

4 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel to keep the Passover.

5 So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the waste land of Sinai: as the Lord gave orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

6 And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

7 And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

8 And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

9 And the Lord said to Moses,

10 Say to the children of Israel, If any one of you or of your families is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, still he is to keep the Passover to the Lord:

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening, they are to keep it, taking it with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants;

12 Nothing of it is to be kept till the morning, and no bone of it is to be broken: they are to keep it by the rules of the Passover.

13 But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

14 And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.

15 And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

16 And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

18 At the order of the Lord the children of Israel went forward, and at the order of the Lord they put up their tents: as long as the cloud was resting on the House, they did not go away from that place.

19 When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

20 Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on.

21 And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

22 Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

23 At the word of the Lord they put up their tents, and at the word of the Lord they went forward on their journey: they kept the orders of the Lord as he gave them by Moses.
