Chapter 9

1Hashem spoke to Moshe in the wilderness of Sinai, on the first new moon of the second year following the exodus from the land of Egypt, saying:

va-y'-da-BAYR a-do-NAI el mo-SHEH b'-mid-BAR si-NAI ba-sha-NAH ha-sh'-NEE-yit l'-tzei-TAM may-E-retz mitz-RA-yim ba-KHO-desh ha-ri-SHON lay-MOR

אוַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהֹוָ֣ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה בְמִדְבַּר־סִ֠ינַ֠י בַּשָּׁנָ֨ה הַשֵּׁנִ֜ית לְצֵאתָ֨ם מֵאֶ֧רֶץ מִצְרַ֛יִם בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן לֵאמֹֽר׃

2Let B'nei Yisrael offer the Pesach sacrifice at its set time:

v'-ya-a-SU v'-nay yis-ra-AYL et ha-pa-SAKH b'-mo-a-DO

בוְיַעֲשׂ֧וּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶת־הַפָּ֖סַח בְּמוֹעֲדֽוֹ׃

3you shall offer it on the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, at its set time; you shall offer it in accordance with all its rules and rites.

4Moshe instructed the Israelites to offer the Pesach sacrifice;

va-y'-da-BAYR mo-SHE el b'-NAY yis-ra-AYL la-a-SOT ha-pa-SAKH

דוַיְדַבֵּ֥ר מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶל־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לַעֲשֹׂ֥ת הַפָּֽסַח׃

5and they offered the Pesach sacrifice in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai. Just as Hashem had commanded Moshe, so the Israelites did.

va-ya-a-SU et ha-PE-sakh ba-ri-SHON b'-ar-ba-AH a-SAR YOM la-KHO-desh BAYN ha-ar-BA-yim b'-mid-BAR see-NAI k'-KHOL a-SHER tzi-VAH a-do-NAI et mo-SHEH KAYN a-SU b'-NAY yis-ra-AYL

6But there were some men who were unclean by reason of a corpse and could not offer the Pesach sacrifice on that day. Appearing that same day before Moshe and Aharon,

vai-HI a-na-SHEEM a-SHER ha-YU t'-me-IM l'-NE-fesh a-DAM v'-lo ya-KH'-lu la-a-SOT ha-PE-sakh ba-YOM ha-HU va-yik-RE-vu lif-NEI mo-SHEH v'-lif-NEI a-ha-RON ba-YOM ha-HU

7those men said to them, “Unclean though we are by reason of a corpse, why must we be debarred from presenting Hashem's offering at its set time with the rest of the Israelites?”

8Moshe said to them, “Stand by, and let me hear what instructions Hashem gives about you.”

vai-YO-mer a-LAY-hem MO-sheh, im-DO v'-esh-m'-AH, mah y'-tza-VEH a-do-NAI la-KHEM.

חוַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֖ם מֹשֶׁ֑ה עִמְד֣וּ וְאֶשְׁמְעָ֔ה מַה־יְצַוֶּ֥ה יְהֹוָ֖ה לָכֶֽם׃

9And Hashem spoke to Moshe, saying:

va-y'-da-BAYR a-do-NAI el mo-SHEH lay-MOR

טוַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

10Speak to B'nei Yisrael, saying: When any of you or of your posterity who are defiled by a corpse or are on a long journey would offer a Pesach sacrifice to Hashem,

da-BER el b'-NAY yis-ra-AYL lay-MOR: eesh eesh kee yi-HE-yeh-ta-MAY la-NE-fesh o v'-DE-rekh r'-kho-KAH, la-KHEM o l'-do-ro-TAY-khem v'-a-SA fe-SAKH la-a-do-NAI.

11they shall offer it in the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs,

ba-CHO-desh ha-SHE-ni b'-ar-ba-a ASAR yom BAYN ha-ar-BA-yim ya-a-SU o-TO al ma-TZOT u-m'-ro-RIM yo-KH'-lu-HU

12and they shall not leave any of it over until morning. They shall not break a bone of it. They shall offer it in strict accord with the law of the Pesach sacrifice.

lo-yash-i-ru mi-me-NU ad-BO-ker v'-et-SEM lo yish-be-ru-VO, k'-kol-khuk-KAT ha-pe-SACH ya-a-SU o-TO

13But if a man who is clean and not on a journey refrains from offering the Pesach sacrifice, that person shall be cut off from his kin, for he did not present Hashem's offering at its set time; that man shall bear his guilt.

14And when a stranger who resides with you would offer a Pesach sacrifice to Hashem, he must offer it in accordance with the rules and rites of the Pesach sacrifice. There shall be one law for you, whether stranger or citizen of the country.

15On the day that the Mishkan was set up, the cloud covered the Mishkan, the Tent of the Pact; and in the evening it rested over the Mishkan in the likeness of fire until morning.

u-v'-YOM ha-KEEM et ha-mish-KAN, KI-sa he-a-NAN et ha-mish-KAN, l'-o-HAYL ha-e-DUT, u-va-E-rev yi-HE-yeh al ha-mish-KAN, k'-mar-EH-ehsh ad-BO-ker.

16It was always so: the cloud covered it, appearing as fire by night.

17And whenever the cloud lifted from the Tent, the Israelites would set out accordingly; and at the spot where the cloud settled, there the Israelites would make camp.

18At a command of Hashem the Israelites broke camp, and at a command of Hashem they made camp: they remained encamped as long as the cloud stayed over the Mishkan.

19When the cloud lingered over the Mishkan many days, the Israelites observed Hashem's mandate and did not journey on.

20At such times as the cloud rested over the Mishkan for but a few days, they remained encamped at a command of Hashem, and broke camp at a command of Hashem.

21And at such times as the cloud stayed from evening until morning, they broke camp as soon as the cloud lifted in the morning. Day or night, whenever the cloud lifted, they would break camp.

22Whether it was two days or a month or a year—however long the cloud lingered over the Mishkan—the Israelites remained encamped and did not set out; only when it lifted did they break camp.

23On a sign from Hashem they made camp and on a sign from Hashem they broke camp; they observed Hashem's mandate at Hashem's bidding through Moshe.
