Numbers 9:4-12 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

4. And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

5. And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

6. And there were certain men, who were unclean by the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

7. and those men said unto him, We are unclean by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of the Lord in its appointed season among the children of Israel?

8. And Moses said unto them, Stay ye; that I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

9. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

10. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord:

11. in the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs:

12. they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.
