New Testament

Numbers 9:11-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. They will keep it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They will eat the Passover lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12. They must not leave any of it until morning, nor break any of its bones. They will keep the Passover according to all its regulations.

13. But any persons who are clean and not on a trip, yet don’t keep the Passover, those persons will be cut off from their people, because they didn’t present the Lord’s offering at its appointed time. Those persons will bear their sin.

14. If an immigrant resides among you and wishes to keep the Passover to the Lord, that one also will keep it according to its regulations and its customary practices. There will be one set of regulations for both of you, for the immigrant and for the native of the land.

15. On the day the dwelling was erected, the cloud covered the dwelling, the covenant tent. At night until morning, the cloud appeared with lightning over the dwelling.

16. It was always there. The cloud covered it by day, appearing with lightning at night.

17. Whenever the cloud ascended from the tent, the Israelites would march. And the Israelites would camp wherever the cloud settled.

18. At the Lord’s command, the Israelites would march, and at the Lord’s command they would camp. As long as the cloud settled on the dwelling, they would camp.
