Numbers 9:6–14

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

⁷Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of the ¹dead person, why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”

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

⁹Then the Lord 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, observe the Passover to the Lord.

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 observe it.

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

¹⁴‘^aIf an alien sojourns among you and ¹observes the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he shall do; you shall have ^bone statute, both for the alien and for the native of the land.’ ”
