Leviticus 23:4-8 - The Passover

⁴ These, are the appointed seasons of Yahweh, holy convocations, - which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season: - ⁵ In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is a Passover unto Yahweh; ⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month, is the festival of unleavened cakes unto Yahweh, - seven days - unleavened cakes, shall ye eat. ⁷ On the first day - a holy convocation, shall there be to you: no laborious work, shall ye do. ⁸ So then ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, seven days, - on the seventh day, shall there be a holy convocation, no laborious work, shall ye do.

¹ And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt in the first month, saying: ² Let the sons of Israel therefore, keep the passover in its appointed season: ³ on he fourteenth day of this month between the two evenings, shall ye keep it, in its appointed season, - according to all the statute thereof and according to all the regulations thereof, shall ye keep it. ⁴ Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover. ⁵ So they kept the passover in the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai, - according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.

⁶ But so it was that there were, certain men who had become unclean by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day, - therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day. ⁷ Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person, - wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?

⁸ And Moses said unto them, - Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you! ¹⁰ Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, - Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh. ¹¹ In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it, - with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it. ¹² They shall not leave thereof until morning, and no bone, shall they break therein - according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it.

¹³ But as for the man who is, clean, and no a journey, doth not chance to be and yet faileth to keep the passover, that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk, - for the oblation of Yahweh, hath he not offered in its appointed season, his own sin, shall, that man, bear.

¹⁴ When moreover there may sojourn with you a sojourner, who would keep a passover unto Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover, and according to the regulation thereof, so, must he keep it , - one statute, shall there be for you, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.
