2 Give orders, and let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.
3 On the fourteenth day of this first month, towards evening, thou shalt celebrate it in its season. According to its rites, and according to its institution, thou shalt celebrate it.
4 Accordingly Moses spoke to the children of Israel to keep the passover
5 on the fourteenth day of the first month, in the wilderness of Sina. And when the children of Israel were doing as the Lord commanded Moses,
6 there were some men who were defiled by the dead body of a man, and could not keep the passover; so these men came to Moses and Aaron on that day,
7 and said to them, We are defiled by the dead body of a man, must we therefore be deprived of the opportunity of offering our gift to the Lord, in its appointed season, among the children of Israel:
8 whereupon Moses said to them, Stand here; and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.
9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and say, If any man among you, or among your posterity, happen to be defiled by the dead, or be on a far distant journey, he shall keep the passover to the Lord
11 in the second month. On the fourteenth day they shall keep it towards evening. They shall eat it with unleavened bread, and bitter herbs;
12 they shall not leave any of it till the morning; nor shall they break a bone of it. They shall keep it according to the ritual of the passover.
13 And if any man be clean, and not on a distant journey, and fail to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from among his people; because he did not offer this gift to the Lord, in its appointed time, such a man shall bear his sin.
14 And if there come to you a proselyte in your land, and he chuse to keep the passover to the Lord, he must keep it according to its ritual, and according to its institution. You shall have one law for the proselyte and for him born in the land.
