Celebrate it on schedule, on the evening of the > fourteenth day of this month, > following all the rules and procedures." > > 4-5 Moses told the People of Israel to celebrate the Passover and they > did- in the Wilderness of > Sinai at evening of the fourteenth day of the first month. > The People of Israel did it all just as God had commanded Moses. > > 6-7 But some of them couldn't celebrate the Passover on the assigned day > because they were ritually > unclean on account of a corpse. So they presented themselves > before Moses and Aaron on Passover and told Moses, "We have become > ritually unclean because of a > corpse, but why should we be barred from bringing God's > offering along with other Israelites on the day set for Passover?" > > 8 Moses said, "Give me some time; I'll find out what God says in your > circumstances." > > 9-12 God spoke to Moses: "Tell the People of Israel, If one or another of > you is ritually unclean > because of a corpse, or you happen to be off on a long > trip, you may still celebrate God's Passover. But celebrate it on the > fourteenth day of the second > month at evening. Eat the lamb together with unraised > bread and bitter herbs. Don't leave any of it until morning.

The People of Israel marched > at God's command and they camped at his command. As long as the Cloud was > over The Dwelling, they > camped. Even when the Cloud hovered over The Dwelling > for many days, they honored God's command and wouldn't march.
