Numbers 9:6–14

⁶But there were some men who were ^aunclean because of a ¹dead person, so that they could not celebrate Passover on that day; so ^bthey came near before Moses and Aaron on that day.

⁷And those men said to him, “We are unclean because of a ¹dead person. But why are we restrained from bringing near the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”

⁸Moses therefore said to them, “^1aWait, and I will listen to what Yahweh will command concerning you.”

⁹Then Yahweh 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 ¹person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, celebrate the Passover to Yahweh.

¹¹‘In the second month on the ^afourteenth day at twilight, they shall observe it; they ^bshall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

¹²‘They ^ashall leave none of it until morning ^bnor break a bone of it; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall celebrate it.

¹³‘^aBut the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet ¹neglects to celebrate the Passover, that ²person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not bring near the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time. That man ^bwill bear his sin.

¹⁴‘^aIf a sojourner sojourns among you and ¹celebrates the Passover to Yahweh, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its judgment, so he shall do; you shall have ^bone statute, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.’”
