4. So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,
5. and they celebrated it on the fourteenth day of the first month at dusk while they were in the Desert of Sinai. The Israelites did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6. But there were some men who had become unclean from touching a dead body, and they couldn’t celebrate the Passover that day. They came to Moses and Aaron
7. and said, “We are unclean because we touched a dead body. Why won’t you let us bring our offerings to the Lord at the same time the rest of the Israelites bring their offerings?”
8. Moses answered them, “Wait here until I find out what the Lord commands you to do.”
9. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites:
10. Suppose you or any of your descendants is unclean from touching a dead body or is away on a long trip. You may still celebrate the Passover.
11. You will celebrate it on the fourteenth day of the second month at dusk. You must eat the Passover animal along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12. You must never leave any of the meat until morning or break any of the animal’s bones. You must follow all the rules for the Passover when you celebrate it.
