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,

¹Og Herren talte til Moses i Sinai ørken i det annet år efterat de var gått ut av Egyptens land, i den første måned, og sa:

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

²Israels barn skal holde påske på den fastsatte tid.

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.

³Den fjortende dag i denne måned, mellem de to aftenstunder, skal I holde påske på den fastsatte tid. Efter alle lover og forskrifter som gjelder om den, skal I holde den.

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

⁴Da talte Moses til Israels barn og sa at de skulde holde påske.

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.

⁵Og de holdt påske i den første måned, på den fjortende dag i måneden, mellem de to aftenstunder, i Sinai ørken; aldeles som Herren hadde befalt Moses, således gjorde Israels barn.

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:

⁶Men det var nogen menn som var blitt urene av et lik, så de ikke kunde holde påske den dag; disse menn trådte samme dag frem for Moses og Aron

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?

⁷og sa til ham: Vi er blitt urene av et lik; hvorfor skal det være oss nektet å bære frem Herrens offer på den fastsatte tid sammen med de andre Israels barn?

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

⁸Da sa Moses til dem: Vent, så jeg kan få høre hvad Herren befaler om eder.

⁹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁹Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

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.

¹⁰Tal til Israels barn og si: Om nogen blandt eder eller blandt eders efterkommere er blitt uren av et lik eller er på langreise, skal han allikevel holde påske for Herren;

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

¹¹i den annen måned på den fjortende dag, mellem de to aftenstunder, skal de holde den; med usyret brød og bitre urter skal de ete påskelammet.

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.

¹²De skal ikke levne noget av det til om morgenen og ikke bryte noget ben på det; de skal i ett og alt holde påsken efter loven som gjelder om den.

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.

¹³Men den som er ren og ikke er på reise og enda lar være å holde påske, han skal utryddes av sitt folk, fordi han ikke bar frem Herrens offer på den fastsatte tid; den mann skal lide for sin synd.

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.

¹⁴Og når en fremmed opholder sig hos eder og vil holde påske for Herren, så skal han holde den efter loven om påsken og efter forskriftene om den; der skal gjelde én lov for eder, både for den fremmede og for den innfødte i landet.

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.

¹⁵Den dag tabernaklet blev reist, dekket skyen tabernaklet, vidnesbyrdets telt; og om aftenen var der som et ildskjær over tabernaklet like til om morgenen.

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

¹⁶Således var det alltid: Skyen dekket det*, og om natten var der som et ildskjær. / {* om dagen.}

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.

¹⁷Og hver gang skyen løftet sig fra teltet, brøt Israels barn straks op; og på det sted hvor skyen lot sig ned, der leiret Israels barn sig.

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.

¹⁸Efter Herrens befaling brøt Israels barn op, og efter Herrens befaling leiret de sig; alle de dager skyen hvilte over tabernaklet, lå de i leir.

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.

¹⁹Når skyen blev over tabernaklet i mange dager, da rettet Israels barn sig efter det som Herren hadde sagt, og brøt ikke op.

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.

²⁰Stundom hendte det at skyen var bare nogen få dager over tabernaklet; efter Herrens befaling lå de da i leir, og efter Herrens befaling brøt de op.

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.

²¹Men stundom hendte det at skyen var der bare fra aften til morgen; når da skyen løftet sig om morgenen, brøt de op. Eller den var der en dag og en natt; når da skyen løftet sig, brøt de op.

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.

²²Eller den var der et par dager eller en måned eller enda lenger; når skyen drygde så lenge og blev liggende over tabernaklet, da lå Israels barn i leir og brøt ikke op, men når den løftet sig, brøt de op.

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.

²³Efter Herrens befaling leiret de sig, og efter Herrens befaling brøt de op; de rettet sig efter det som Herren hadde sagt - efter det som Herren hadde befalt ved Moses.
