Chapter 9 of Numbers—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Thus the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in 1the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
  2. “Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at 2its appointed time.
  3. On the fourteenth day of this month, [a]at twilight, you shall observe it at its appointed time; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
  4. So Moses [b]told the sons of Israel to observe the Passover.
  5. 3They observed the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; 4according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
  6. But there were some men who were 5unclean because of the [c]dead person, so that they could not observe Passover on that day; so 6they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
  7. Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of the [d]dead person, why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the LORD at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”
  8. Moses therefore said to them, “[e]7Wait, and I will listen to what the LORD will command concerning you.”
  9. ¶ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  10. “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead [f]person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, observe the Passover to the LORD.
  11. In the second month on the 8fourteenth day at twilight, they shall observe it; they 9shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
  12. They 10shall leave none of it until morning, 11nor break a bone of it; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall observe it.
  13. 12But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet [g]neglects to observe the Passover, that [h]person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not present the offering of the LORD at its appointed time. That man 13will bear his sin.
  14. 14If an alien sojourns among you and [i]observes the Passover to the LORD, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he shall do; you shall have 15one statute, both for the alien and for the native of the land.’”
  15. ¶ Now on 16the day that the tabernacle was erected 17the cloud covered the tabernacle, the 18tent of the testimony, and 19in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle, until morning.
  16. So it was continuously; 20the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
  17. 21Whenever the cloud was lifted from over the tent, afterward the sons of Israel would then set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the sons of Israel would camp.
  18. At the [j]command of the LORD the sons of Israel would set out, and at the [k]command of the LORD they would camp; 22as long as the cloud settled over the tabernacle, they remained camped.
  19. Even when the cloud lingered over the tabernacle for many days, [l]the sons of Israel would keep the LORD’S charge and not set out.
  20. If [m]sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, 23according to the [n]command of the LORD they remained camped. Then according to the [o]command of the LORD they set out.
  21. If [p]sometimes the cloud [q]remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would move out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out.
  22. Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but 24when it was lifted, they did set out.
  23. 25At the [r]command of the LORD they camped, and at the [s]command of the LORD they set out; they kept the LORD’S charge, according to the [t]command of the LORD through Moses.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
