1 以色列人出埃及地以后， 第二年正月， 耶和华在西奈旷野吩咐摩西说：
2 "以色列人要在指定的时间守逾越节，
3 就是本月十四日， 黄昏的时候， 你们要在指定的时间守这节， 要照着这节的一切律例和一切典章而行。"
4 于是， 摩西吩咐以色列人要守逾越节。
5 他们就在正月十四日， 黄昏的时候， 在西奈旷野守了逾越节； 耶和华怎样吩咐了摩西， 以色列人就怎样行了。
6 有几个人因为触着死人而不洁净， 以致他们不能在那一天守逾越节； 当日他们来到摩西和亚伦面前。
7 这些人对摩西说： "我们虽然因为接触死人而不洁净， 为什么我们被拒绝， 不能在以色列人中， 在指定的时间献耶和华的供物呢？"
8 摩西对他们说： "你们且等候， 我要去听耶和华对你们有什么吩咐。"
9 耶和华对摩西说：
10 "你要告诉以色列人说： 你们或你们的后代中， 如果有人因为接触死人而成为不洁净， 或因到远方旅行， 他还要向耶和华守逾越节；
11 他们要在二月十四日， 黄昏的时候， 守逾越节， 同时要吃无酵饼和苦菜；
12 一点也不留到早晨， 羊羔的骨头， 一根也不可折断； 他们要照着逾越节的一切律例守节。
13 但那洁净的， 又不在路上旅行的人， 如果忽略守逾越节， 那人就要从自己的民中被剪除， 因为他没有在指定的时间内献上耶和华的供物， 那人必担当自己的罪。
14 如果有外人寄居在你们中间， 想要向耶和华守逾越节， 他就必须照着逾越节的条例和典章而行； 不论是外人或是本地人， 只有一样的条例。"
15 在竖立帐幕的那一天， 有云彩遮盖着帐幕， 就是法柜的帐幕； 到了晚上， 云彩在帐幕上， 形状像火， 直到早晨。
16 常常是这样： 白天有云彩遮盖帐幕， 夜间云彩形状像火。
17 云彩什么时候从会幕上收去， 以色列人就起行； 云彩在什么地方停住， 以色列人就在那里安营。
18 以色列人照着耶和华的吩咐起行， 也照着耶和华的吩咐安营； 云彩在帐幕上停留多久， 他们就安营多久。
19 如果云彩多日停留在帐幕上， 以色列人就遵守耶和华的吩咐， 不起行。
20 有时云彩停留在帐幕上只有几天， 他们就照着耶和华的吩咐安营； 也照着耶和华的吩咐起行。
21 有时云彩从晚上到早晨停住； 到了早晨， 云彩一收上去， 他们就起行； 有时云彩从白昼到晚上都停住； 云彩一收上去， 他们就起行。
22 云彩停留在帐幕上不论有多久， 或两天、或一月、或一年， 以色列人就安营， 不起行； 云彩一收上去， 他们就起行。
23 他们照着耶和华的吩咐安营， 也照着耶和华的吩咐起行。他们遵守耶和华吩咐的， 就是照着耶和华借摩西吩咐的。
1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 Moreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season. 3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it. 4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 5 And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 6 And there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day: 7 and those men said unto him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel? 8 And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.
9 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah. 11 In the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs: 12 they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it. 13 But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him that is born in the land.
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped. 18 At the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped. 19 And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not. 20 And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. 21 And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 22 Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed. 23 At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
