Num
9:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first
month of the second year after they had come out of the land of
Egypt, saying,
Num
9:2 "Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in
its appointed season.
Num
9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep
it in its appointed season--according to all its statutes, and
according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
Num
9:4 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the
Passover.
Num
9:5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day
of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to
all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Num
9:6 There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead
body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day,
and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
Num
9:7 Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead
body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the
offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children of
Israel?"
Num
9:8 Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh
will command concerning you."
Num
9:9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
9:10 "Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of
your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a
journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Yahweh.
Num
9:11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they
shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter
herbs.
Num
9:12 They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone
of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep
it.
Num
9:13 But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to
keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Because he didn't offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed
season, that man shall bear his sin.
Num
9:14 If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the
Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and
according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one
statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the
land.' "
Num
9:15 On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered
the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was
over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
Num
9:16 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance
of fire by night.
Num
9:17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after
that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the
cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
Num
9:18 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled,
and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud
remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
Num
9:19 When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the
children of Israel kept Yahweh's command, and didn't travel.
Num
9:20 Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then
according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and
according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.
Num
9:21 Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when
the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and
by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
Num
9:22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud
stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel
remained encamped, and didn't travel; but when it was taken up, they
traveled.
Num
9:23 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the
commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh's command, at
the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
Num
10:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Num
10:2 "Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of
beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation,
and for the journeying of the camps.
Num
10:3 When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather
themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Num
10:4 If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the
thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
Num
10:5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side
shall go forward.
Num
10:6 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on
the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their
journeys.
Num
10:7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall
blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
Num
10:8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This
shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
Num
10:9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who
oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then
you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved
from your enemies.
Num
10:10 "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set
feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the
trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your
peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your
God. I am Yahweh your God."
Num
10:11 It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the
twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle of the testimony.
Num
10:12 The children of Israel went forward according to their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the
wilderness of Paran.

Num
10:29 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses'
father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh
said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you
well; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel."
Num
10:30 He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my
own land, and to my relatives."
Num
10:31 He said, "Don't leave us, please; because you know how we
are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
Num
10:32 It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that
whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you."
Num
10:33 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey.
The ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days'
journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
Num
10:34 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set
forward from the camp.
Num
10:35 It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise
up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you
flee before you!"
Num
10:36 When it rested, he said, "Return, Yahweh, to the ten
thousands of the thousands of Israel."
