1. Adonai spoke to Moses in the Sinai wilderness in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt saying,
2. “Bnei-Yisrael is to observe Passover at its appointed time.
3. You are to celebrate it at its appointed time, at twilight on the fourteenth day of this month, with all its rules and regulations.”
4. So Moses told Bnei-Yisrael to observe Passover.
5. They celebrated Passover at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month in the Sinai wilderness. In accordance with all that Adonai commanded Moses, so Bnei-Yisrael did.
6. However, there were some men who could not celebrate Passover because of being defiled by a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron on that same day,
7. and these men said to him, “We have become unclean because of a dead man’s body. Why should we be kept from presenting the offering of Adonai at the appointed time with the rest of Bnei-Yisrael?”
