Numbers 9:7-12 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. “Even though we have touched a dead body, why can't we celebrate Passover and offer sacrifices to the Lord at the same time as everyone else?”

8. Moses said, “Wait here while I go into the sacred tent and find out what the Lord says about this.”

9. The Lord then told Moses

10. to say to the community of Israel:If any of you or your descendants touch a dead body and become unfit to worship me, or if you are away on a long journey, you may still celebrate Passover.

11. But it must be done in the second month, in the evening of the fourteenth day. Eat the Passover lamb with thin bread and bitter herbs,

12. and don't leave any of it until morning or break any of the animal's bones. Be sure to follow these regulations.
