Numbers 9:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 “If an alien[a] who lives among you would celebrate the Lord’s Passover, it shall be celebrated according to the statutes and regulations for the Passover. You shall have the same law for the resident alien as for the native of the land.”(A)
The Fiery Cloud. 15 On the day when the tabernacle was erected, the cloud[b] covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant; but from evening until morning it took on the appearance of fire over the tabernacle.(B) 16 It was always so: during the day the cloud covered the tabernacle and at night had the appearance of fire.
