Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:2 - “Have the Israelites celebrate the Passover at the appointed time.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:3 - Celebrate it at the appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, in accordance with all its rules and regulations.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:4 - So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:5 - and they did so in the Desert of Sinai at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:6 - But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:7 - and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the LORD’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:8 - Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:9 - Then the LORD said to Moses,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:10 - “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body or are away on a journey, they are still to celebrate the LORD’s Passover,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:11 - but they are to do it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:12 - They must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:13 - But if anyone who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, they must be cut off from their people for not presenting the LORD’s offering at the appointed time. They will bear the consequences of their sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 9:14 - “ ‘A foreigner residing among you is also to celebrate the LORD’s Passover in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born.’ ”
