Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

On the fourteenth day of the first month, toward evening, you shall keep it at its appointed seasons; according to its law and according to its interpretation you shall keep it.

9:4
καὶἐλάλησενΜωυσῆςτοῖςυἱοῖςΙσραηλποιῆσαιτὸπασχα
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel to keep the Passover.
And there came men who were unclean by reason of a human soul and were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
And those men said to him: We are unclean by reason of a human soul. Are we then to fall short of offering the gift to the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Any man whatever who becomes unclean by reason of a human soul, or is on a journey far from you, or is among your generations, he also shall keep the Passover to the Lord.
But a man who is clean and is not on a far journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from among its people, because he did not offer the gift to the Lord at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin.
And if a sojourner comes to you in your land and keeps the Passover to the Lord, according to the law of the Passover and according to its ordinance he shall keep it. There shall be one law for you and for the sojourner and for the native of the land.
And on the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the house of the witness; and in the evening there was upon the tabernacle as it were an appearance of fire until morning.
And whenever the cloud went up from the tabernacle, after that the sons of Israel would set out; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the sons of Israel would encamp.
By the command of the Lord the sons of Israel shall encamp, and by the command of the Lord they shall set out. All the days in which the cloud overshadows the tabernacle, the sons of Israel shall encamp.
And it shall be, when the cloud covers the tabernacle a number of days, by the voice of the Lord they shall encamp, and by the command of the Lord they shall set out.
