8. Moses answered them, “Wait, and I will inquire what Adonai commands concerning you.”
9. Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying,
10. “Say to Bnei-Yisrael saying: If any man, whether you or your descendants, becomes unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a long journey, he may yet observe Adonai’s Passover.
11. They are to celebrate it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. With matzot and bitter herbs they are to eat it.
12. They are not to leave any of it until morning, or break any bones. When they celebrate Passover they are to observe all its regulations.
13. “But the person who is clean and not away on a journey, yet neglects to celebrate Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people because that person did not present Adonai’s offering at the appointed time. That man will bear his sin.
14. “If an outsider living among you would celebrate Passover to Adonai according to the requirement, so he should do. There will be for you the same regulation for the outsider and the native of the land.’”
15. On the day the Tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the Tabernacle. By evening until morning, the cloud above the Tent of Testimony had an appearance like fire.
16. It was that way continually. The cloud covered it, and by night it appeared like fire.
17. Whenever the cloud lifted up from above the Tent, then Bnei-Yisrael would set out, and at the place where the cloud settled, there Bnei-Yisrael would encamp.
18. At the mouth of Adonai, Bnei-Yisrael would set out, and at the mouth of Adonai they would encamp. All the days that the cloud remained over the Tabernacle, they would remain in camp.
19. When the cloud would remain over the Tabernacle many days, Bnei-Yisrael would obey the command of Adonai and not set out.
20. At times the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle only a few days. At Adonai’s word they would encamp, and at Adonai’s word they would set out.
