Numbers 9 — Context

7

said to them: “We are unclean because of the life of a man. Why have we been cheated, in that we are not permitted to offer, at its proper time, the oblation to the Lord among the sons of Israel?”

8

And Moses responded to them: “Remain, so that I may consult the Lord, as to what he will rule about you.”

9

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10

“Say to the sons of Israel: The man who becomes unclean because of a life, or if he is on a distant journey within your nation, let him observe the Passover to the Lord.

11

In the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce.

12

They shall not leave behind any of it until morning, and they shall not break a bone of it; they shall observe all the rituals of the Passover.

13

But if any man was both clean, and not on a journey, and yet he did not observe the Passover, that soul shall be exterminated from among his people, because he did not offer the sacrifice to the Lord in its time. He shall bear his sin.
