Numbers 9:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 9:10

8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that ^aI may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”

9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your¹ posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover.

11 On ^athe fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall ^beat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12 ^aThey shall leave none of it until morning, ^bnor break one of its bones. ^cAccording to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it.

13 But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person ^ashall be cut off from among his people, because he ^bdid not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time; that man shall ^cbear his sin.

14 ‘And if a stranger¹ dwells among you, and would keep the Lord’s Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover and according to its ceremony; ^ayou shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land.’ ”

The Cloud and the Fire

15 Now ^aon the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud ^bcovered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; ^cfrom evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire.

16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
