Numbers 9

The Israelites are reminded of the law that required them to keep the passover at its proper time, and with all its rites, Numbers 9:1-3 . They kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, Numbers 9:4 , Numbers 9:5 . The case of the men who, being unclean through touching a dead body, could not keep the passover, Numbers 9:6 , Numbers 9:7 . Moses inquires at the Lord concerning them, Numbers 9:8 ; and the Lord appoints the fourteenth day of the second month for all those who through any accidental uncleanness, or by being absent on a journey, could not keep it at the usual time, Numbers 9:9-12 . Those who neglect to keep this solemn feast to be cut off from among his people, Numbers 9:13 . The stranger who wishes to keep the passover is at liberty to do it, Numbers 9:14 . The cloud covers the tabernacle both by day and night, from the time of its dedication, Numbers 9:15 , Numbers 9:16 . This cloud regulates all the encampments and marchings of the Israelites through the wilderness, Numbers 9:17-22 . Their journeyings and restings were all directed by the commandment of the Lord, Numbers 9:23 .
