Context of Numbers 9:2
1The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert. The Israelites had left Egypt. It was the second year after the Israelites had left that country. It was the first month during that year. The Lord said, ‘The Israelites must eat the Passover meal at the proper time. They must eat it as the rules about it say. 3The proper time is during the evening of the 14th day of this month. It is when it starts to become dark. That is when you must eat it. You must obey all its rules and its laws.’ 4So Moses told the Israelites that they should eat the Passover.
