Numbers 9:7-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. These persons said to him, "Although we are unclean from contact with a human corpse, why must we be prohibited from presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time with the rest of the Israelites?"

8. Moses said to them, "Wait while I listen for what the Lord will command concerning you."

9. The Lord spoke to Moses:

10. Tell the Israelites: When any of you or your descendants are unclean from contact with a corpse or are on a long trip, they may still keep the Passover to the Lord.

11. They will keep it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They will eat the Passover lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12. They must not leave any of it until morning, nor break any of its bones. They will keep the Passover according to all its regulations.
