and shall serve no more:

to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their
charge.
CHAPTER 9
And the L
ORD
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
Let the children of Israel also keep the
passover at his appointed season.
3
In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in
his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies 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 on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of
Sinai: according to all that the L
ORD
commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
6
And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, 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
defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back,
that we may not offer an offering of the L
ORD
in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
8
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the L
ORD
will command concerning
you.
9
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
10
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any
man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or
be
in a journey afar
off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the L
ORD
.
11
The fourteenth day of the second month at
even they shall keep it,
and
eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs.
12
They shall leave none
of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover
they shall keep it.
13
But the man that
is
clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the
passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the
offering of the L
ORD
in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
14
And if a stranger shall
sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the L
ORD
; according to the ordinance of the
passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both
for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
15
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle,
namely,
the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of
fire, until the morning.
16
So it was alway: the cloud covered it
by day,
and the appearance of fire
by night.
17
And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of
Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their
tents.
18
At the commandment of the L
ORD
the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment
of the L
ORD
they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
