Numbers 9:1–14
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying, 2 “Let the ⌊Israelites⌋a observe the Passover at its appointed time. 3 On the fourteenth day of this month ⌊at twilight⌋b you will perform it at its appointed time according to all its decrees; and according to all its stipulations you will observe it.” 4 So Moses spoke to the ⌊Israelites⌋c to observe the Passover. 5 And they observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month ⌊at twilight⌋d in the desert of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, thus the ⌊Israelites⌋e did.
6 And it happened, men who were unclean ⌊by a dead person⌋f were not able to perform the Passover on that day. And they came ⌊before⌋g Moses and Aaron on that day. 7 And those men said to him, “Although we are unclean ⌊by a dead person⌋,h why are we hindered from presenting the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time in the midst of the ⌊Israelites⌋?”i 8 Moses said to them, “Stay. I will hear what Yahweh commands to you.”
9 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the ⌊Israelites⌋,j saying, ‘Each man that is unclean ⌊by a dead person⌋k or is on a far journey, you or your ⌊descendants⌋,l he will observe the Passover of Yahweh. 11 On the second month on the fourteenth day ⌊at twilight⌋m they will observe it; they will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter plants. 12 They will leave none of it until morning, and they will not break a bone in it; they will observe it according to every decree of the Passover. 13 But the man who is clean and not on a journey, and he fails to observe the Passover, that person will be cut off from the people because he did not present the offering of Yahweh on its appointed time. That man will bear his guilt. 14 If an alien dwells with you he will observe the Passover of Yahweh according to the decree of the Passover and according to its stipulation; thus you will have one decree for you, for the alien and for the native of the land.’ ”
