⥃The Second Passover ^{[ Exodus 12:1–13 ]}

[1] And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month² of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,³ [2] Let the children of Israel also keep⁴ the passover at his appointed⁵ season. [3] In the fourteenth⁶ day of this month, at even⁷, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites⁸ of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.⁹ [4] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. [5] And they kept¹⁰ the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according¹¹ to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

[6] [¶]And there were certain men, who were defiled¹² by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came¹³ 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 offer¹⁴ an offering of the Lord in his appointed season among the children of Israel? [8] And Moses said unto them, Stand¹⁵ still, and I will¹⁶ hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

[9] [¶]And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [10] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean¹⁷ by reason of a dead body, or [be] in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep¹⁸ the passover unto the Lord. [11] The fourteenth¹⁹ day of the second month at even they shall keep it, [and] eat it²⁰ with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs]. [12] They shall leave²¹ none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone²² of it: according²³ 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 forbeareth²⁴ to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because²⁵ he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin²⁶. [14] And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the Lord; 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.²⁷

⥃The Cloud above the Tabernacle ^{[ Exodus 40:34–38 ]}

[15] And on the day²⁸ that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud²⁹ covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at even³⁰ 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.³¹ [17] And when the cloud³² was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the³³ place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. [18] At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the³⁴ commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as³⁵ the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. [19] And when the cloud tarried long³⁶ upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the³⁷ charge of the Lord, and journeyed not. [20] And [so] it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. [21] And [so] it was, when the cloud abode³⁸ from even unto the morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. [22] Or [whether it were] two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode³⁹ in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed. [23] At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed: they kept⁴⁰ the charge of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
