6. But some of the people could not celebrate the Passover on that day. They were unclean because of a dead body. So they went to Moses and Aaron that day.
7. They said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body. But why should we be kept from offering gifts to the Lord at this appointed time? Why can’t we join the other Israelites?”
8. Moses said to them, “Wait. I will find out what the Lord says about you.”
9. Then the Lord said to Moses,
10. “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You or your descendants might become unclean because of a dead body. Or, you might be away on a trip during the Passover. Still celebrate the Lord’s Passover.
11. But celebrate it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. Eat the lamb with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast.
12. Don’t leave any of it until the next morning. Don’t break any of its bones. When you celebrate the Passover, follow all the rules.
