Numbers 9

Gen Z: Numbers 9

1And the Lord hit up Moses in the Sinai desert, in the first month of year two after they dipped from Egypt, saying,

2Let the fam of Israel keep the Passover when it's their time.

3On the fourteenth day of this month, at night, keep it like it's meant to be: do all the rituals and ceremonies, no cap.

4Moses told the kids of Israel to keep the Passover, periodt.

5They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at night in the Sinai desert: just like the Lord told Moses, the kids of Israel did it.

6Some guys were unclean 'cause they touched a dead body, so they couldn't keep the Passover that day: they came to Moses and Aaron about it.

7Those guys were like, "We're unclean from a dead body: why are we held back? We wanna offer to the Lord during the right time with the fam of Israel!"

8Moses said, "Chill for a sec, and I'll see what the Lord says about you."

9And the Lord told Moses, saying,

10Tell the kids of Israel, "If any of you or your future fam is unclean from a dead body or far away, they still gotta keep the Passover for the Lord."

11On the fourteenth day of the second month at night, they should keep it and eat it with no yeast and bitter herbs, fr.

12They can't leave any of it till morning or break any bones: just follow all the Passover rules, that's how it goes.

13But if a dude is clean and not traveling, but skips the Passover, that soul will be cut off from their people: 'cause they didn't bring the Lord's offering at the right time, that dude's gotta own their sin.

14If a stranger is chilling with you and wants to keep the Passover for the Lord, they gotta follow the same rules: one law for everyone, both for the stranger and the local peeps.

15When the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered it, like the tent of testimony: at night it looked like fire until morning.

16It was always like that: cloud by day, fire by night, vibes.

17When the cloud lifted from the tabernacle, the kids of Israel moved out: wherever the cloud stopped, that's where they set up camp.

18By the Lord's command, they traveled, and by His command, they set up camp: as long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they kicked it in their tents.

19If the cloud hung out on the tabernacle for days, the kids of Israel followed the Lord's orders and stayed put.

20So when the cloud was there for a few days, they chilled in their tents, and when it lifted, they bounced.

21If the cloud stayed from evening to morning and lifted in the morning, they moved out: whether it was day or night, they followed the cloud.

22Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, the kids of Israel stayed in their tents and didn't move: but when it lifted, they journeyed.

23By the Lord's command, they rested in the tents, and by His command, they journeyed: they followed the Lord's orders through Moses.

KJV: Numbers 9

1And 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,

2Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

3In 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.

4And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

5And 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.

6And 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:

7And 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?

8And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

9And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

10Speak 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.

11The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12They 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.

13But 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.

14And 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.

15And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

16So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

17And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

18At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

19And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not.

20And 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.

21And so it was, when the cloud abode 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.

22Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

23At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed: they kept the charge of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
