91 Thus the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai , in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt , saying , 2 "Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time . 3 "On the fourteenth e day of this month , at twilight , you shall observe it at its appointed time ; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances ." 4 So Moses told the sons of Israel to observe the Passover . 5 They observed the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth e day of the month , at twilight , in the wilderness of Sinai ; according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses , so the sons of Israel did . 6 But there were some men who were unclean because of the dead person , so that they could not observe Passover on that day ; so they came before Moses and Aaron on that day . 7 Those men said to him, "Though we are unclean because of the dead person , why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel ?" 8 Moses therefore said to them, " Wait , and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you." 9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 10 "Speak to the sons of Israel , saying , 'If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead person , or is on a distant journey , he may, however, observe the Passover to the Lord . 11 'In the second month on the fourteenth e day at twilight , they shall observe it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs . 12 'They shall leave none of it until morning , nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall observe it. 13 ' But the man who is clean and is not on a journey , and yet neglects to observe the Passover , that person shall then be cut off from his people , for he did not present the offering of the Lord at its appointed time . That man will bear his sin . 14 ' If an alien sojourns among you and observes the Passover to the Lord , according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance , so he shall do ; you shall have one statute , both for the alien and for the native of the land .' "
15 Now on the day that the tabernacle was erected the cloud covered the tabernacle , the tent of the testimony , and in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle , until morning . 16 So it was continuously ; the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night . 17 Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent , afterward e the sons of Israel would then set out; and in the place where e the cloud settled down , there the sons of Israel would camp . 18 At the command of the Lord the sons of Israel would set out, and at the command of the Lord they would camp ; as long e as the cloud settled over the tabernacle , they remained camped . 19 Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days , the sons of Israel would keep the Lord'S charge and not set out. 20 If sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle , according to the command of the Lord they remained camped . Then according to the command of the Lord they set out. 21 If sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning , when the cloud was lifted in the morning , they would move out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night , whenever the cloud was lifted , they would set out. 22 Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle , staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted , they did set out. 23 At the command of the Lord they camped , and at the command of the Lord they set out; they kept the Lord'S charge , according to the command of the Lord through Moses .
