Leviticus 23:4-8 - The Passover

⁴ These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons: ⁵ in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to Jehovah; ⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat; ⁷ on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work; ⁸ and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying, ² 'Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its appointed season; ³ in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings ye prepare it in its appointed season; according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances ye prepare it.' ⁴ And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the passover, ⁵ and they prepare the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done.

⁶ And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on that day, and they come near before Moses, and before Aaron, on that day, ⁷ and those men say unto him, 'We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring near the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?'

⁸ And Moses saith unto them, 'Stand ye, and I hear what Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.'

⁹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹⁰ 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah; ¹¹ in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it; ¹² they do not leave of till morning; and a bone they do not break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they prepare it.

¹³ 'And the man who is clean, and hath not been on a journey, and hath ceased to prepare the passover, even that person hath been cut off from his people; because the offering of Jehovah he hath not brought near, in its appointed season, that man doth bear his sin.

¹⁴ 'And when a sojourner sojourneth with you, then he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah, according to the statute of the passover, and according to its ordinance, so he doth; one statute is to you, even to a sojourner, and to a native of the land.'
