(11) They 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, (12) and 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 Passover sacrifice. (13) But if any party who is pure and not on a journey refrains from offering the Passover sacrifice, that person shall be cut off from kin, for the ETERNAL’s offering was not presented at its set time; that party shall bear the guilt.
(14) And when a stranger who resides with you would offer a Passover sacrifice to the ETERNAL, it must be offered in accordance with the rules and rites of the Passover sacrifice. There shall be one law for you, whether stranger or citizen of the country. (15) On the day that the Tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the Tabernacle, the Tent of the Pact; and in the evening it rested over the Tabernacle in the likeness of fire until morning. (16) It was always so: the cloud covered it, appearing as fire by night. (17) And 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. (18) At a command of the ETERNAL, the Israelites broke camp, and at a command of the ETERNAL, they made camp: they remained encamped as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle.
(19) When the cloud lingered over the Tabernacle many days, the Israelites observed the ETERNAL’s mandate and did not journey on. (20) At such times as the cloud rested over the Tabernacle for but a few days, they remained encamped at a command of the ETERNAL, and broke camp at a command of the ETERNAL. (21) And 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. (22) Whether it was two days or a month or a year—however long the cloud lingered over the Tabernacle—the Israelites remained encamped and did not set out; only when it lifted did they break camp. (23) On a sign from the ETERNAL they made camp and on a sign from the ETERNAL they broke camp; they observed the ETERNAL's mandate at the ETERNAL's bidding through Moses.
(4) I, in turn, asked the angel who talked with me, “What do those things mean, my lord?” (5) “Do you not know what those things mean?” asked the angel who talked with me; and I said, “No, my lord.” (6) Then he explained to me as follows: “This is the word of the ETERNAL to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit—said the ETERNAL of Hosts. (7) Whoever you are, O great mountain in the path of Zerubbabel, turn into level ground! For he shall produce that excellent stone; it shall be greeted with shouts of ‘Beautious! Beautious!’”
