¹And Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:

²And the children of Israel shall observe the Passover at its appointed time.

³On the fourteenth day of this month, between the evenings, you shall observe it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and according to all its judgments you shall observe it.

⁴And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, to observe the Passover.

⁵And they observed the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

⁶And there were men who were unclean on account of the being of a human, so they were not able to observe the Passover on that day; and they came near before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

⁷And those men said to him, “We are unclean on account of the being of a human. Why are we held back from bringing near the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time among the children of Israel?”

⁸And Moses said to them, “Stand, so that I may hear what Yahweh will command for you.”

⁹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁰Speak to the children of Israel, saying: Any man, if he becomes unclean for a being, or is on a far road away from you or your generations, he shall make a passover to Yahweh.

¹¹In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the two evenings, they shall make it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.

¹²They shall not leave any of it until morning, and they shall not break a bone in it; they shall make it according to every statute of the passover.

¹³But the man who is clean and not on a journey, and fails to make the passover, that being shall be cut off from its people, because he did not bring near the present of Yahweh at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin.

¹⁴And if a sojourner sojourns with you and makes a passover to Yahweh, he shall do so according to the statute of the passover and according to what is prescribed for it; there shall be one statute for you, for the sojourner, and for the native of the land.

¹⁵On the day they raised up the tabernacle, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony; and in the evening it was over the tabernacle like the look of fire, until morning.

¹⁶So it was continually: the cloud covered it, and the look of fire by night.

¹⁷And as soon as the cloud was taken up from over the tent, and after that the children of Israel set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the children of Israel encamped.

¹⁸At the mouth of Yahweh the children of Israel set out, and at the mouth of Yahweh they encamped; all the days that the cloud settled down over the tabernacle, they encamped.

¹⁹And when the cloud grew long over the tabernacle for many days, the children of Israel kept the duty of Yahweh and did not set out.

²⁰Sometimes the cloud was a few days over the tabernacle: at the mouth of Yahweh they encamped, and at the mouth of Yahweh they set out.

²¹And sometimes the cloud was there from evening until morning, and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they set out; or by day and night, and when the cloud was taken up, they set out.

²²Or two days, or a month, or days, when the cloud grew long over the tabernacle to settle down on it, the children of Israel stayed encamped and did not set out; and when it was taken up, they set out.

²³At the mouth of Yahweh they encamped, and at the mouth of Yahweh they set out; they kept the duty of Yahweh at the mouth of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
