Numbers 9:6-12

6It happened that some men who were ceremonially defiled by the dead body of a man could not keep the Passover on that day, so they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

7And those men said to him, “We are ceremonially defiled by the dead body of a man; why are we kept back from offering the Lord’s offering at its appointed time among the Israelites?”

8So Moses said to them, “Remain here and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”

9The Lord spoke to Moses:

10“Tell the Israelites, ‘If any of you or of your posterity become ceremonially defiled by touching a dead body, or are on a journey far away, then he may observe the Passover to the Lord.

11They may observe it on the fourteenth day of the second month at twilight; they are to eat it with bread made without yeast and with bitter herbs.

12They must not leave any of it until morning, nor break any of its bones; they must observe it in accordance with every statute of the Passover.
