Numbers 9:7
Compare all
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.

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
