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.
12aThey 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 byday, and the appearance of fire by night.
Unclean or in a journey - Under these two instances the Hebrews think that other hindrances of like nature are comprehended; as if one be hindered by a disease, or by any other such kind of uncleanness; which may seem probable both from the nature of the thing, and the reason of the law which is the same in other cases.
