Numbers 9:4–11

⁴So Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover. ⁵And ^cthey kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

⁶Now there were certain men who were ^ddefiled by a human corpse, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; ^eand they came before Moses and Aaron that day. ⁷And those men said to him, “We became defiled by a human corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the children of Israel?”

⁸And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that ^fI may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”

⁹Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁰“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your ⁴posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. ¹¹On ^gthe fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall ^heat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
