Numbers 9:12-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. Don’t leave any of it until the next morning. Don’t break any of its bones. When you celebrate the Passover, follow all the rules.

13. Anyone who is clean and is not away on a trip must eat the Passover. If he doesn’t, he must be separated from his people. He did not give an offering to the Lord at the appointed time. He must be punished for his sin.

14. “‘A foreigner among you may celebrate the Lord’s Passover. But he must follow all the rules. You must have the same rules for foreigners as you have for yourselves.’”

15. On the day the Holy Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. (The Holy Tent was also called the Tent of the Agreement.) From dusk until dawn the cloud above the Tent looked like fire.

16. The cloud stayed above the Tent. At night it looked like fire.

17. When the cloud moved from its place over the Tent, the Israelites moved. Wherever the cloud stopped, the Israelites camped.
