The Second Passover
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying:
2 “Let the children of Israel keep athe Passover at its appointed btime.
3 On the fourteenth day of this month,1 at twilight, you shall keep it at its appointed time. According to all its3 rites and ceremonies you shall keep it.”
4 So Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.
5 And athey kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, at twilight, in the Wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 Now there were certain men who were adefiled by a human corpse, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day; band they came before Moses and Aaron that day.
7 And those men said to him, “We became defiled by a human corpse. Why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the children of Israel?”
8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that aI may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”
9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your1 posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover.
