1在西奈守逾越節以色列人出埃及地以後，第二年正月，耶和華在西奈曠野吩咐摩西說：
1Yahweh 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,
2“以色列人要在指定的時間守逾越節，
2“Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
3就是本月十四日，黃昏的時候，你們要在指定的時間守這節，要照著這節的一切律例和一切典章而行。”
3On 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.”
4於是，摩西吩咐以色列人要守逾越節。
4Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
5他們就在正月十四日，黃昏的時候，在西奈曠野守了逾越節；耶和華怎樣吩咐了摩西，以色列人就怎樣行了。
5They 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.
6有幾個人因為觸著死人而不潔淨，以致他們不能在那一天守逾越節；當日他們來到摩西和亞倫面前。
6There 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.
7這些人對摩西說：“我們雖然因為接觸死人而不潔淨，為甚麼我們被拒絕，不能在以色列人中，在指定的時間獻耶和華的供物呢？”
7Those 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?”
8摩西對他們說：“你們且等候，我要去聽耶和華對你們有甚麼吩咐。”
8Moses answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you.”
9耶和華對摩西說：
9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10“你要告訴以色列人說：你們或你們的後代中，如果有人因為接觸死人而成為不潔淨，或因到遠方旅行，他還要向耶和華守逾越節；
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.
11他們要在二月十四日，黃昏的時候，守逾越節，同時要吃無酵餅和苦菜；
11In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12一點也不留到早晨，羊羔的骨頭，一根也不可折斷；他們要照著逾越節的一切律例守節。
12They 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.
13但那潔淨的，又不在路上旅行的人，如果忽略守逾越節，那人就要從自己的民中被剪除，因為他沒有在指定的時間內獻上耶和華的供物，那人必擔當自己的罪。
13But 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.
14如果有外人寄居在你們中間，想要向耶和華守逾越節，他就必須照著逾越節的條例和典章而行；不論是外人或是本地人，只有一樣的條例。”
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.’”
15雲彩覆蓋會幕（出40:34~38）在豎立帳幕的那一天，有雲彩遮蓋著帳幕，就是法櫃的帳幕；到了晚上，雲彩在帳幕上，形狀像火，直到早晨。
15On 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.
16常常是這樣：白天有雲彩遮蓋帳幕，夜間雲彩形狀像火。
16So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
17雲彩甚麼時候從會幕上收去，以色列人就起行；雲彩在甚麼地方停住，以色列人就在那裡安營。
17Whenever 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.
18以色列人照著耶和華的吩咐起行，也照著耶和華的吩咐安營；雲彩在帳幕上停留多久，他們就安營多久。
18At 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.
19如果雲彩多日停留在帳幕上，以色列人就遵守耶和華的吩咐，不起行。
19When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept Yahweh’s command, and didn’t travel.
20有時雲彩停留在帳幕上只有幾天，他們就照著耶和華的吩咐安營；也照著耶和華的吩咐起行。
20Sometimes 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.
21有時雲彩從晚上到早晨停住；到了早晨，雲彩一收上去，他們就起行；有時雲彩從白晝到晚上都停住；雲彩一收上去，他們就起行。
21Sometimes 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.
22雲彩停留在帳幕上不論有多久，或兩天、或一月、或一年，以色列人就安營，不起行；雲彩一收上去，他們就起行。
22Whether 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.
23他們照著耶和華的吩咐安營，也照著耶和華的吩咐起行。他們遵守耶和華吩咐的，就是照著耶和華藉摩西吩咐的。
23At 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.
