The second Passover

The Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt: Let the Israelites keep the Passover at its appointed time. On the fourteenth day of this month at evening you will keep it at its appointed time. You will keep it according to all its rules and according to all its ways. Moses spoke to the Israelites, so they'd keep the Passover. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at evening in the wilderness of Sinai. According to everything the Lord commanded Moses, that is what the Israelites did. And there were some men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so they couldn't keep the Passover that day. They came before Moses and before Aaron that day. And those men said to him: We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why should we be kept from offer an offering to the Lord at its appointed time among the Israelites? Moses said to them: Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will order about you. The Lord spoke to Moses: Speak to the Israelites: If any man of you or of your generations is unclean because of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he will still keep the Passover to the Lord. They will keep it on the fourteenth day of the second month at evening, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They will not leave any of it till the morning, and they will not break a bone of it. According to all the rules of the Passover they will keep it. But the man who is clean and isn't on a trip and stops keeping the Passover — that person will be cut off from among his people. Because he did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time, that man will carry his sin. If a stranger stays among you and keeps the Passover to the Lord, he will do it according to the rule of the Passover and according to its way. You will have one rule, both for the stranger and for the one born in the land.

And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt: Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its set time. On the fourteenth day of this month at evening you'll keep it at its set time. You'll keep it according to all its rules and according to all its ways. And Moses spoke to the people of Israel, so they'd keep the Passover. And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at evening in the wilderness of Sinai. According to everything the Lord ordered Moses, that's what the people of Israel did. And there were some men who were unclean by the dead body of a man, so they couldn't keep the Passover that day. And they came in front of Moses and in front of Aaron that day. And those men said to him: We're unclean by the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back so we can't offer an offering to the Lord at its set time among the people of Israel? And Moses said to them: Stand still, and I'll hear what the Lord will order about you. And the Lord spoke to Moses: Speak to the people of Israel: If any man of you or of your generations is unclean because of a dead body, or is off on a long trip, he'll still keep the Passover to the Lord. They'll keep it on the fourteenth day of the second month at evening, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They won't leave any of it till the morning, and they won't break a bone of it. According to all the rules of the Passover they'll keep it. But the man who's clean and isn't on a trip and stops keeping the Passover — that soul will be cut off from among his people. Because he didn't bring the offering of the Lord at its set time, that man will carry his sin. And if a stranger stays among you and keeps the Passover to the Lord, he'll do it according to the rule of the Passover and according to its way. You'll have one rule, both for the stranger and for the one born in the land.

And the LORD 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, Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. 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. And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 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 LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 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: 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 LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel? And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 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 LORD. The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 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. 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 LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin. 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.
