Numbers 9:6-13 ▼

6 And there were men who were defiled by the body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day. And they came before the face of Moses and Aaron that day.

7 And those men said to him, “We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we restrained from presenting the offering of YHWH at its appointed time in the midst of the sons of Israel?”

8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that I may hear what YHWH commands concerning you?.”

9 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any man is unclean by a body or on a journey far away from you? or your? posterity, he may still keep the Passover of YHWH.

11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they may keep it; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.

12 They shall leave none of it until morning, and a bone of it they shall not break. According to all the ordinances of the Passover, they shall keep it.

13 And the man who is clean, and not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that person shall be cut off from among his people, because he did not bring the offering of YHWH at its appointed time. That man, he shall bear His sin.
