Commentaries on Numbers 9:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1The Lord spake unto Moses - The fourteen first verses of this chapter certainly refer to transactions that took place at the time of those mentioned in the commencement of this book, before the numbering of the people, and several learned men are of opinion that these fourteen verses should be referred back to that place. We have already met with instances where transpositions have very probably taken place, and it is not difficult to account for them. As…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-5Verses 1-5 Passover at Sinai. This, as being kept in the first month, was prior in time to the numbering of Numbers 1:1 ff, and to the other events narrated in this book. It is, however, recorded here as introductory to the ordinance of Numbers 9:6-14 in this chapter respecting the supplementary Passover; the observance of which was one of the last occurrences during the halt at Sinai. Numbers 9:5 In some details, the present Passover differed both from…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1Of the Passover. (1-14) The removals of the Israelites. (15-23) Verses 1-14 God gave particular orders for the keeping of this passover, and, for aught that appears, after this, they kept no passover till they came to Canaan, Jos 5:10.

But the ordinance of the Lord's Supper was not thus set aside…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-52-5. Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season, &c.--The date of this command to keep the passover in the wilderness was given shortly after the erection and consecration of the tabernacle and preceded the numbering of the people by a month. (Compare Nu 9:1 with Nu 1:1, 2). But it is narrated after that transaction in order to introduce the notice of a particular case, for which a law was provided to meet the occasion. This…Read the comment
