Numbers 9:5-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. And they observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight in the desert of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, thus the Israelites did.

6. And it happened, men who were unclean by a dead person were not able to perform the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.

7. And those men said to him, “Although we are unclean by a dead person, why are we hindered from presenting the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time in the midst of the Israelites?”

8. Moses said to them, “Stay. I will hear what Yahweh commands to you.”

9. And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

10. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Each man that is unclean by a dead person or is on a far journey, you or your descendants, he will observe the Passover of Yahweh.

11. On the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight they will observe it; they will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter plants.

12. They will leave none of it until morning, and they will not break a bone in it; they will observe it according to every decree of the Passover.

13. But the man who is clean and not on a journey, and he fails to observe the Passover, that person will be cut off from the people because he did not present the offering of Yahweh on its appointed time. That man will bear his guilt.
